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.

Cemetery Sing 2019

On Sunday August 25, 2019 we had our annual “cemetery sing” outing. This is a chance for the choir to visit cemeteries where past members are buried, sing some songs and share memories of the departed. We also make a few stops along the way to visit some of the businesses that support the Madison Maennerchor.

This year we visited Roselawn Memorial Park in Monona, Resurrection Cemetery in Madison and Forest Lawn Cemetery in Madison. Below are some photos from the outing, as always please click on the thumbnail to see the full sized image. Also, for more information on our deceased members, please visit our Deceased Members page.

2nd Annual MMC Open House

We held our 2nd Annual Open House at the Essen Haus on Thursday, September 27, 2018.  Had a good turnout and our friends from MGV Kenosha paid us another visit as well.

Also, President Ruch presented Walter Bausch with his 65-Year Certificate.
