Orpheus Club Men's Chorus is the pre-eminent men's chorus in New Jersey. Founded in Ridgewood in 1909, it is the oldest cultural institution in Bergen County. Fifty singers strong, we continue the Orpheus tradition of delighting audiences with eclectic repertoires ranging from Bach and Beethoven to the Beach Boys and Bruno Mars.
We are a diverse and congenial group of men who share a passion to make beautiful choral music, in a wide range of genres. Our musical director, John J. Palatucci, and our pianist, Ron Levy, challenge and inspire us, upholding the tradition that we men of Orpheus enjoy our music and each other.
We have two main concert series, Spring Concerts in April, and Holiday Concerts in December. Come to our concerts and savor the magic.
