The San Antonio Liederkranz
Established July 11th, 1892
Our 130th Year!
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 http://nasaengerbund.org
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.
