"In celebration of its 130th anniversary, the Mendelssohn Club accomplished what is, for many, the impossible: Its Sunday concert at the Kimmel Center gave you reason to respect Carl Orff's annoyingly popular."

"What immediately strikes you about [ Charles Fussell's High Bridge ], premiered Saturday night at Philadelphia Cathedral by the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia to open its 130th season, is that it is a work of great substance.... the Mendelssohnians have gotten themselves, and the entire choral field, a major new work that deserves to be discovered and rediscovered."

Reviews from our audience

"I went to the Mendelssohn Club concert On the Transmigration of Souls in early November at Girard College. It was many years
since I had heard the group, and this current incarnation of this group knocked me out. The chorus has everything you want to hear in vocal music and then some, meaning it goes way past the usual boundaries of what we expect to hear from any singers, volunteer or professional, in terms of emotion, programming, skill and heart."
