Stammtisch
The Maennerchor and Damenchor hosts a "Stammtisch" for the specific purpose of keeping the German language alive in Kingston. Conversations will be conducted in German with help along the way for those of us who need to improve our speaking knowledge of the language. Topics are open and will be determined by the expressed interests of participants. The program is open to members and friends of all age groups interested in German culture and life. The group generally meets on a Thursday from 5:00 –6:30 p.m. The dates vary based on avialability of the organizer, Michael. There is usually a light snack as well as non-alcoholic beverages. A donation of $2.00 per participant will help to cover the costs. For information please call 845-527-4925.
Singers
The chorus is open to all singers. Membership is required, a speaking knowledge of German and/or an ability to read music are not. Rehearsals are held on Monday evenings from 6:45 – 8:30 p.m. except during the months of January, June, July and August. Performances include a spring and a fall concert plus those at nursing homes and other venues as the occasions arise. We welcome new singers!
