Since 1866, the Mendelssohn Glee Club has been a cornerstone of American music, proudly holding the title of the oldest surviving independent musical group in the United States, after the New York Philharmonic. We are an all-male chorus dedicated to preserving and performing a diverse repertoire of male choral music—from classical masterpieces to vibrant contemporary works. Each concert is a celebration of vocal harmony, camaraderie, and our enduring legacy. Experience the Tradition. Hear the Harmony. Support the Legacy.
The Mendelssohn Glee Club Sings the National Anthem for The New York Mets
See the Mendelssohn Glee Club performing the National Anthem at major New York sporting events like Yankee Stadium. Our annual tradition includes singing for the Yankees, Mets, and the Brooklyn Cyclones, concluding with the iconic "Goodbye My Coney Island Baby." These popular club outings, especially to Coney Island and Nathan's Famous, are fantastic opportunities for camaraderie and fun!
