Collaborations

Mendelssohn Club is known for its collaborations with other artistic groups. We have received awards for our work in this area including the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming and the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations' Human RIghts Award for “bringing the community together in song” through Alan Harler’s multicultural concert programming.
