The San Antonio Liederkranz
Established July, 1892
The San Antonio Liederkranz is an all male (TTBB) choir that was formed by Fr. Henry Pfefferkorn 121 years ago as the Men’s Choir of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in downtown San Antonio, Texas.
We still sing for the fourth Sunday 11:00 Mass at St. Joseph's with the exception of July, August, and December. In December we always sing for Midnight Mass.
In addition, we perform two major fundraising concerts. The first Sunday in June is the date set aside for our Spring Concert composed of secular music and the first Sunday in December is reserved for our annual Christmas Concert wherein we sing a mixture of English, German, and Latin Christmas carols.
The group belongs to two Sängerbunds: The DeutchTexanisherSänger Bund and the Texanischer Gebirgs-Sängerbund. Each Bund holds a Sängerfest, one the Spring and one in the Fall. We are also members of the Nord-Amerikanischer Sängerbund.
Rehearsals are held every Monday night at St Joseph’s Hall, 420 Cesar Chavez/Durango in The historic King William Neighborhood of San Antonio. If you are a male, over the age of 18. and have a good singing voice and sense of devotion to a singing organization, please come to the hall most any Monday night and try out.
