MMC Spring Concert at Turner Hall 2013-05-18

Leave a reply

The Madison Maennerchor had its 161st annual Spring Concert at Turner Hall on Saturday May 18th. The weather was nice, though it did get a little warm in the hall. We had a good turnout for the concert. Our guest choir was the  Gesangverein Concordia from Sheboygan. They sang during intermission and joined us for a few songs at the end of the concert.

After the concert there were sandwiches and other refreshments. Jerry Stueber provided the post-concert entertainment.

Thanks to all who helped make the concert a success, especially our sponsors, the setup and clean up crews, and our guests the Gesangverein Concordia.

The Madison Maennerchor sang at the Maifest celebration at the Essen Haus on Saturday May 4, 2013. After a rainy morning, it was a beautiful afternoon to be outside and enjoy the music, food and beer. The band “Copper Box” provided most of the afternoon’s entertainment – we performed a short set during one of their breaks. We sang in between the performance by the Oak Apple Morris Dancers and the traditional Maypole dance.

Stiftungsfest 2013

On the evening of Saturday February 9, 2013 we gathered at the Essen Haus to celebrate another year of the Madison Maennerchor’s continued existence – we’ve come a long way since 1852! We enjoyed an excellent meal, some liquid refreshments and the chance to sing a few songs on stage. All together, a wonderful evening of gemütlichkeit.

Thanks to our social chairman Greg, and the staff at the Essen Haus.
