Wikipedia: Big Apple Chorus
The Big Apple Chorus is a barbershop chorus based in Manhattan, New York. The chorus, directed by Jack Pinto, was founded in 1983 and has close to 100 members. The Big Apple Chorus has competed in the Barbershop Harmony Society’s international chorus competition, with a best finish of 2nd in 1987.
 
For several years, the chorus has regularly participated in the holiday concert series at the South Street Seaport, including the Living Christmas Tree—a group of carolers arranged in a tree, accompanying the first public Christmas tree in the city to be lit during the winter holiday season.
 
The chorus rehearses at 7pm on Monday nights at Norman Thomas High School, 111 East 33rd Street in Manhattan.

Who we are
If you’re looking for a bunch of Broadway stars or Park Avenue elite who are “puttin’ on the Ritz,” well, you’re going to be disappointed (a little). We are people of all genders who look a lot like you. We all share a common passion: We love to sing a cappella.
 
The Chorus forms the Manhattan Chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), which was an all-male organization until 2020. When the BHS became co-ed, so did the Big Apple Chorus.

Our history
When it was established in 1983, no one could have imagined that the Big Apple Chorus was going to make the kind of impact that would propel it through over 35 years of extraordinary musical performances.
