Concert | Big Apple Chorus


When it was founded in 1983, few imagined the kind of impact the Big Apple Chorus would make in its subsequent 25-plus-years of extraordinary musical performances. Its members, after all, are ordinary men – husbands, sons, fathers and brothers, most with no formal musical training – who hail from New York City, Northern and Southern New Jersey, Connecticut, Westchester, and the entire span of Long Island, among others. Plus, the singers come from all walks of life – students, teachers, laborers, professionals, executives and retirees – with an ethnic and cultural diversity that mirrors its namesake, the Big Apple, New York City. The group performs 45-minute shows to brighten up your holiday season.
