Become a member of the Indianapolis Liederkranz
|
During the 1800's, the German immigrants wanted to preserve
their culture in their new country. Many of them formed societies
based on common interests. Some of these interests included
singing. In 1872, the Indianapolis Liederkranz was
formed. "Liederkranz" means "singing society". The club was
dedicated to four-part male harmony, so the choir was only for the
men. Now over one hundred thirty-five years later, it is still going
strong. In 1997, a women's choir (Damenchor) was added. Both choirs
are directed by Loesje Chandler, and they rehearse every Wednesday
evening from September through May. Each choir hosts a spring and fall
concert. In addition, there is a combined Christmas concert, and there
are several dances during the year. Many of these events are open to
the public.
If you are interested in German culture and song, please
consider joining the Indianapolis Liederkranz! Your annual membership
for the calendar year includes discounted admission to club concerts
and dances, Oktoberfest and Bock Beer Fest. Please fill out the bottom
