The
Dallas Frohsinn Singing Society History
The Dallas Frohsinn Singing
Society was first organized in 1877 and little did anyone then realize
that in order still to exist it had to survive two world wars
and experience an almost non-existent emigration from their home
countries Germay, Austria and Switzerland. Also,
times since then have changed drastically causing an alarming
drop in new membership. During World War II the choir disbanded
for a few years and then started up again once the war was
concluded.
Originally the Dallas Frohsinn was a men's chorus but in 1991 a
Damenchor was also established and became accepted in the
Deutsch Texanischen Saengerbund. Eventually the two choirs
merged and became a mixed choir.
In concert we now have three venues - the men's chorus and the
women's chorus each singing individually and then the mixed
chorus where we sing the four voices together.
