THE 2025 CHRISTMAS CONCERT
"From Stillness to Celebration"

Join the San Antonio Liederkranz as we journey through music that moves from quiet reflection to joyful celebration. This year’s program weaves together timeless carols and choral treasures—ranging from the mystery of the Virgin Mary, to the beauty of a winter’s night, to festive songs of the season. As our concert falls on December 7th, we also offer a special 1940s set in homage to Pearl Harbor Day.
Experience the season in song—where stillness gives way to light, and hope shines bright.

San Antonio Liederkranz to Perform at 190th Anniversary of Texas IndependenceSAN ANTONIO, TX -- The San Antonio Liederkranz, an acclaimed all-male choral ensemble, has been invited to help commemorate the 190th 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-Texanischer Sängerbund and the Texanischer 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.
