Apollo performs the masterworks of the choral repertoire in concert halls and cathedrals all over the Chicagoland area. Apollo's annual performances of Handel's complete Messiah have become a beloved holiday tradition for Chicago families. The Chorus also embraces new masterpieces and has featured contemporary composers Kile Smith, Stacy Garrop, Damien Geter, Jeff Beal, Eric Whitacre, Eleanor Daley and more in their repertoire.

Annual Spring concerts showcase the Chorus's range spanning from spirituals to sambas, pop music from the movies, to the Blues.
