St.
Louis Ladies Chorus Report
Forwarded
From German Cultural Society, St. Louis
We just completed a successful Liederabend under the leadership of our
new director, Peggy Pancella. Many of the comments after our
performance credited our new director for making our concert so
enjoyable. Although our attendance could have been better, we felt
that it was a good evening, and I thank everyone who supported us,
especially members of our Volkstanzgruppe. Besides our director, I
would like to sincerely thank the Deutschmeister Brass Band for
playing so well for our dancing enjoyment, and the Kitchen staff for
the delicious dinner. Special mention goes to our soloists, Barbara
Potje, Karen Tones, Friedel Geissert, and Mike Kimbrell, who added
variety to our offerings. John Unterreiner made us sound better than
ever, and our decorating committee made our hall look ever so festive.
Our singers themselves put great effort and time into doing our songs
correctly, especially “Blue Johnny”, which was a total departure
from our usual fare. So, all in all, I would say that we can be
pleased with our performance.
In addition to preparation for our Liederabend, we prepared for
a performance at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, the week prior
to our concert. Mary Lee Wolf directed and accompanied us for this
event. The Spitzbuam and we put on a good show, and it was fun to do.
Everyone enjoyed it.
New singers are always welcome and needed. Please call 314-842-6798 or

We
wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
