Daily Cardinal article on the MMC
In March a reporter and a photographer from the Daily Cardinal visited one of our rehearsals, and interviewed several of the choir members. The article is very nice; it was published on April 3, 2025. To read the article online, please click here.
Stiftungsfest 2024 Presentation
At our last Stiftungsfest, Tim gave a great presentation about the Maennerchor as it was in 1924. The presentation has been converted to a flip book and embedded here. You can close the “ad window” and there is an option to display it full screen in a new browser tab. Enjoy!
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.

Last Summer Rehearsal
We had our final summer “rehearsal” at the Essen Haus on Thursday August 31. It was a somewhat smaller crowd than usual, but it was a busy week with lots of things going on.
We will resume our regular rehearsals on Thursday September 7, at 7:00 pm at Turner Hall.
Middleton GNF 5 K
Team Maennerchor participated once again in the 5 K race at the Middleton Good Neighbor Festival on Saturday August 26. Thankfully it was cool but it was quite humid. There were not quite as many participants as there were in the days before Covid, but there was a good turnout of both runners and walkers. After the race, of course we adjourned to the beer tent to replenish fluids.
Here are some photos of the post-race festivities. As always, click on the thumbnail image to see the larger photo.
