A Capital Region tradition since 1909, the 60-voice male chorus is the area’s longest continually performing arts group. The club is composed of men from the Capital District, Hudson Valley, and Berkshire regions, and performs a full range of male choral selections from around the world. From Lincoln Center to the Mormon Tabernacle, The Mendelssohn Club of Albany has performed in over 85 different locations.

The Mendelssohn Club will perform its traditional holiday concert on Friday, Dec. 13, at The Egg in Albany.
