About Us

 

The present membership is composed of a diverse group of men from all walks of life who reside in Maplewood and surrounding communities. They are drawn together by the mutual interests of good fellowship and the pleasure of singing good music.

The Club was founded in 1946 as an Auxiliary of Post No.80 of the American Legion.  Through dedication and hard work, the Club soon gained its independence as a private men's glee club. Along our route to recognition, the Township of Maplewood adopted our cause, and in 1964, the Maplewood Community Recreation Service became our sponsor. In 1968, The Maplewood Recreation Department took over as our official sponsor. We are most appreciative of their constant support, including their provision of a weekly rehearsal facility.

EXTRA CONCERTS

For 66 years, the Maplewood Glee Club has been known to the public primarily as an organization dedicated to music through its semi-annual concerts as well as its scholarship program. Many talented young artists have been acknowledged through our scholarship competition and encouraged in continuing their music studies.

However, there is another facet to the Maplewood Glee Club and its civic activities of which we are equally proud. This is our Extra Concert Program. The Maplewood Glee Club has performed for organizations such as nursing homes, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers. The excitement and success of this program has been such that it has been difficult to decide who have enjoyed themselves more at these performances – the audience or the glee club.

For more information about the availability of the Maplewood Glee Club for an Extra Concert appearance, please contact James Byrne, our Extra Concert Program Chairman, at (908) 276-7372.
