2026 Stiftungsfest

The Madison Männerchor gathered at Turner Hall of Monroe on Saturday, February 21, 2026 to celebrate our 174th Founding. Following a great dinner of Jägerschnitzel, President Joe Johnson recapped the 2025 MMC year, including the resignation of Director Garrett Debbink, the hiring of Brighin Kane-Grade, and the many performances throughout the year, highlighted by our Spring and Christmas Concerts.

Tim Hughes then gave a short presentation on the Männerchor’s 100th Anniversary in 1952. Click HERE to view the presentation.

Summer Rehearsal at Olbrich Park

We had one of our summer “rehearsals” at the Biergarten in Olbrich Park on Thursday June 13th. We usually “rehearse” at the Essen Haus during the summer, but we do visit other places as well. We were very lucky with the weather on Thursday and had a great time at Olbrich Park.
