Welcome to the Apollo Club of Boston's new

website.  We are the second-oldest

continuously-active men's singing group in the

United States.  Founded in 1871, the Club has a

long and distinguished history.  Today we have

a membership of approximately 30 Boston-area

business and professional men and rehearse

Tuesday evenings in a beautiful space at the

foot of Boston's Beacon Hill.

Here we are singing an encore in the spring of

2009:

Luminary members of the club have included Thomas Bell, sculptor of the equestrian

statue of George Washington that stands in the Public Garden; James Ratigan, the Irish

portrait painter, later director of music at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross; and Colonel

Arnold A. Rand of the 4th

Massachusetts Cavalry during the

Civil War, a former vice president

and director of the John Hancock

Insurance Company. Boston Pops

Arthur Fiedler also directed several

performances of the Club in the

1940s. Ecce Quam Bonum, an

exhibit of the Club's rich history, is

on display through March 12, 2010,

at the Boston Public Library.

The Club's purpose is simple: to share with

our audiences the pleasure of men's voices

singing songs old and new -- folk songs, love

songs, show tunes, sea chanteys, and

selections from the rich classical and semi-

classical music repertoire.  We hope you'll

consider joining us.
