Celebrating 114 years: 1910 – 2024

The Wenatchee Apollo Club was formed in 1910 when the Rev. Stuart Hyatt assembled 14 young men to organize a group to sing for their enjoyment and to enrich community life. That was just 18 years after the city itself was chartered!  The Wenatchee Apollo Club has performed continuously since that time, except for a hiatus during World War II and 2020/2021 during the Covid-19 lockdown.

We believe that we are the longest performing male chorus in the Pacific Northwest, and one of very few in the nation to have such longevity.

The mission of the Wenatchee Apollo Club is fourfold:

1. To provide the opportunity for men to assemble to sing for their own enjoyment,
2. To provide men the opportunity to develop their vocal skills so that they may perform for the public,
3. To provide Wenatchee and its neighboring communities with a men’s choral group that will act as an ambassador of good will.
4. To gather sufficient funds from donations, funding activities, or musical performances to provide annual college scholarships to local students who have been involved in school or community musical activities and seek to further their music experience by majoring or minoring in a school’s defined music program. (see the ‘About Us’ page for more information.)

The Apollo Club needs more voices

The Apollo Club is always in need of additional voices. Please consider joining our group. You don’t need to read music, though it helps. You only need to be able to carry a tune in the men’s voice range. You don’t need to be a pro. If you would like to participate with us, send us a note on the ‘Contact Us’ page. We start up in early September and end the performance year the end of May the following year. We practice Tuesday evenings at 7pm, in the choir room at East Wenatchee’s Eastmont Jr. High School. Come, sit in, and observe our practice to see if you have an interest in associating with us.
