Founded in 1944, the Bayside Glee Club is
this year celebrating its Diamond Jubilee -- 75 years of
continuous performances. Since its inception as a male chorus, the
BGC has been making a
unique contribution to
Bayside and the larger community. Each year the club (which is nondenominational
and welcomes men of all faiths) presents two formal
concerts and from time to time performs for the benefit of area churches,
nursing homes, hospitals,
 and various organizations.
Although the club is centered in the
Flushing/Bayside area, singers and audiences come from all parts of Queens, Long
Island, and the Metropolitan area.
With over 1,600 selections in its growing
library, the club (currently with more than two dozen singing members) works hard to bring its audiences fresh, challenging, and
varied
programs.
