The Madison Männerchor was mentioned in two places in the Winter 2015-2016 edition of the the “Wisconsin Magazine of History”.
In the article, “Green Turtle Soup, Lobster Newburg and Roman Punch”, the MMC is referred to as “Suitable entertainment…” on page 19 and listed on the reproduced menu from 1901 on page 21.
On Thursday December 18th we performed at Oakwood Village. Our friend and former member Dick Layman invited us to come and sing and we did. We had a great turnout for the concert and afterward we adjourned to the dining area for refreshments and some more singing. As always, we had a great time at Oakwood Village. thanks for inviting us Dick!

“A heartfelt thanks to all of those who attended the Madison Männerchor (MMC) Christmas concert Sunday afternoon. We very much appreciate your support and sincerely hope you had a good time in helping us celebrate the holiday season. We hope you enjoyed the concert as much as we enjoyed performing for you. For those who stayed for dinner, we hope you enjoyed the meal. It is always a treat to have good catered food like we had from Cranberry Creek and Ralph Clasen’s outstanding ham baked in sourdough.
I hope some of the men who attended the concert take us up on our concert ticket rebate offer by attending one of our Thursday night rehearsals, either in January or February. We practice every Thursday night at 8:00 pm at Madison Turner Hall. We hope to see you there. Our next practice is Thursday, January 7th at 8:00 pm. We are taking the holidays off and we have a performance this Thursday at Oakwood Village West at 7:00 pm.
Thanks again and everyone “hab ein Frohen Weihnachten und ein Guten Rutsch ins Neu Jahr.” (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year)”
Gϋnther Ruch, President

We sang at Wauktoberfest on the Endres Manufacturing grounds in Waunakee on Sunday September 20th. As we’ve been doing for the last few years, we sing our first set, then pause for the Dachshund races, and then sing a second set. It was a beautiful day and I think we all had a good time. Strangely though, the Wauktoberfest goat mascot (a.k.a. “Greg’s Nemesis”) was not present.
