History

edit

The Apollo Club has a history intertwined with the music community of the Twin Cities, with roots dating back to 1887. In the spring of 1895, steps were taken to create a male chorus, and the organization was officially formed and organized on September 23, 1895.[2] Emil Oberhoffer was the first conductor of the choir, who established a high standard of choral singing. The first public performance from the Apollo Club occurred in the Lyceum Theater, located in downtown Minneapolis, on April 13, 1896.[3] Notable conductors and accompanists of the ensemble include Henry S. Woodruff,[4] Theodore Bergman,[5] Elsie Wolf Campbell, William Rhys-Herbert, William MacPhail,[6] James S. Allen, and Roger Hoel.[7] The Apollo Club of Minneapolis was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame November 4, 2017.[8]
