Between 1849 and 1914, German-American singing festivals with thousands of participants and visitors were a constant yet changing element in the cultural landscape of the United States. They brought German and European music to America, helped immigrants construct a German-American (musical) identity, and contributed to asserting their status in society. This presentation will focus on the beginnings and the expansion of German-American choirs, especially M\u00e4nnerch\u00f6re (choirs for male voices), singing federations and their festivals, and the musical repertoire that was performed from the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of World War I.<\/p>\n
Heike Bungert is Professor for North American History at the University of M\u00fcnster in Germany and has published extensively on the festivals of German Americans.<\/p>\n
