Houston’s best-kept secret is not a place but a vibrant and historic choral society whose members share a common love of German music and heritage. Founded in 1883 by working class families seeking connection, The Houston Saengerbund is the oldest musical society in Houston. Our members embrace their love of song in a joyful, inclusive community where every voice is welcomed.
Rooted in rich traditions, the club honors heritage through community outreach, by sharing the contributions of German music, language, and culture in Houston and beyond. We embrace a future where tradition and innovation harmonize, crafting a melody that resonates across generations.
