History

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.
