Brisbane Apollo Male Choir

[1] On 23 September 1914, the Brisbane Liedertafel performed a patriotic concert at the Centennial Hall, in aid of the Queensland Patriotic Fund and the Red Cross Society.

The concert was attended by Sir Arthur Morgan, Lieutenant-Governor of Queensland.

[2] In 1916, due to anti-German sentiment prevalent during World War I, the name of the choir was changed to the Brisbane Apollo Choir, after the classical Greek God.

Proceeds from this concert were given to St Vincent’s Hostel, South Brisbane.

[1] The Brisbane Apollo Male Choir currently meets and rehearses at St James Anglican Church Hall at Kelvin Grove, Brisbane.
