Just a few weeks are left for getting ready for our Fruehjahrs Konzert (Spring Concert). The choruses are adding the final touches to our songs for this annual free concert. We hope that many of our members will join the singers for what the Teutonia Maenner- und Damenchor have done since 1854 when a few men decided to express their emotions and feelings in songs of their former homeland. It was a time when few ever had the opportunity to see their beloved hometown ever again. It was a way to make their lives in a new country easier and also share their feelings with other immigrants and families. Generations have come and became strong supporters of their adopted country contributing in many ways to the fortune of a growing country. Today few are immigrating and so we are depending on the grandchildren and great grandchildren of those early pioneers. The Teutonia choruses have been fortunate to always attracting men and women continuing in upholding German Song and traditions. The singers have held their memberships steady at a time when other singing societies have folded. No doubt much can be attributed to the interest of our members to support the chorus and we hope that many will attend our Spring Concert on Saturday, May 9. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm, table reservations are recommended to make sure you will have a seat. The New Castle Maennerchor Eintracht will be one of the features as well as the Bloomfield Liedertafel, Schweizer Maennerchor Helvetia and our Pittsburgh Jugend / Kinderchor will round out an evening of song. After the concert the Karl Lukitch Band will entertain for dancing and listening pleasure.

Dinner will be served in the Ratskeller from 4:30 to 7:30 pm, please call the club and make reservations.

Both choruses will have a selection of songs for the Life Member Dinner on Sunday, May 3 starting at 4:00 pm. Reservations required.

The men will be singing for a group of financial executives meeting at the Priory on Wednesday, May 13, 6:00 pm, try to be there by 5:45. We will present a 25 minute program. Rehearsal will be 8:00 pm for mixed Rehearsal, men and ladies.

Everyone who will be on our German Chorreise will meet on Friday, May 1, 7:30 pm in the Saengerhalle for final payment of the Berlin – Hamburg trip. We also asked the Travel Agent to be at the club for payment of the flights. We are hoping to give you a final Itinerary of our Tour and answer questions you might have, and the selection of songs will be available to the participants. Three concerts are being planned and also a few hymns for churches we are visiting during our guided tours.

If you cannot attend the meeting please send check made out to “Teutonia Singers” and mail to:

The Damenchor is holding their End of Year Dinner on Saturday, May 30, to which the Ladies also invite the Men. We encourage all singers to take part in this annual dinner. It is a time when we get a chance to socially interact and also show our newer singers “Saenger Gemuetlichkeit”. Reservations are a must by giving Alice your choice of dinner.
