Teutonia Sommernachts-Fest: 2nd

The Teutonia Men’s Chorus celebrated its annual summer night’s festival last Tuesday. It was a more intimate setting with only members and their families invited, which came in large numbers. Noteworthy were the performances of “Ossian” (prize song), and especially Oberhöfer’s “Reiterlied”. The latter is a not easy, delicate composition, in which especially the voices in the middle range excelled in the difficult passages. Groschel put the program together tastefully. All pieces were enthusiastically applauded; only the third choral piece could have been more precise. The Teutonia Chorus from New Jersey also participated in the festival, which kept many attendees busy with singing, dancing, and games up until the early morning hours.
