San Antonio Liederkranz will perform at 190th Anniversary of Texas Independence
The San Antonio Liederkranz, an acclaimed all-male choral ensemble, has been invited to help commemorate the 190 anniversary of Texas Independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos, the historic birthplace of Texas.
This milestone celebration will feature musical performances, historical reenactments, and presentations from organizations dedicated to preserving the state’s heritage.
Founded in 1892 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in downtown San Antonio, the Liederkranz was established to promote German culture and musical excellence in the community. Today, the ensemble continues that tradition, performing sacred and secular works in German, English, and Latin. In addition to their regular appearances at St. Joseph’s Church and their annual Spring and Christmas Concerts, the group is an active member of two distinguished Texas singing societies: the Deutsch-Texanisches Sängerbund and the Texanisches Gebirgs Sängerbund.
This year’s appearance at Washington-on-the-Brazos carries special meaning, as the current Liederkranz members will honor their predecessors who performed there in 1938, shortly after the amphitheater first opened.
The Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site reopened on November 8, 2025, following a $51 million renovation. It remains one of Texas’s most important landmarks—where 59 elected delegates declared independence from Mexico, drafted a new constitution, and established an interim government for the Republic of Texas.
Those wishing to support the San Antonio Liederkranz in this historic performance are encouraged to call (210) 846-7400 for more information.
