The San Antonio Liederkranz
Established July 11th, 1892
Our 131st Year!

Picture
The San Antonio Liederkranz is an all male (TTBB) choir  that was formed by
Fr. Henry Pfefferkorn 130 years ago as the Men’s Choir of 
St. Joseph's Catholic Church in downtown, San Antonio, Texas.

The choir sings the fourth Sunday 11:00 Mass at St. Joseph's with the exception of July, August, and December. In December they always sing for Midnight Mass.

In addition, the choir puts on two  major fundraising concerts. The  Spring /Summer  Concert in June/July is composed of secular music and the first (or second) Sunday in December is  reserved for our annual Christmas Concert where we sing a mixture of English,  German, and Latin Christmas carols.

The group belongs to two Texas Sängerbunds:  The Deutch-Texanisher Sängebund and the Texanischer Gebirgs Sängerbund. Each  Bund holds a Sängerfest, one the Spring and one in the Fall. The group is also a member of the Nord-Amerikanischer  Sängerbund

Rehearsals are held every Monday night at 7:30 PM 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. We are always seeking new singers.
