Title
Catskill Glee Club, Catskill, NY www.catskillgleeclub.org
Description
The Catskill Glee Club (male chorus) was organized in 1927. During the first concert, on May 1, 1928, a fire broke out in a nearby business district. Two members of the club, who also happened to be firemen, responded and were overcome by smoke. The concert went on as scheduled but without the two men.
Since its founding, the Catskill Glee Club has had four conductors, nine accompanists, and five assistant accompanists. Sixteen members served in the Armed Forces and one member, who was given the Bronze Star, was killed in France in 1944. There have been 132 spring and winter concerts and over 650 road performances. Spring 2006 marks our 79th season.
Road concerts (seven to ten each year) are on Monday evenings. Two home concerts are on Tuesday nights, one in December and one in May. Concert dress is a tuxedo, but a black suit will do in a pinch. Most of our concerts are in Greene, Ulster, Orange, and Columbia counties.
