Liederkranz Malsch [GERMANY]
Liederkranz Malsch in its current format was formed in 1967, drawing its members from the male voice choir and female voice choir, founded in 1871 and 1937 respectively. They perform a relatively traditional mix of sacred and secular choral music. Today it performs as a mixed-voice adult choir that sometimes combines with the children’s choir and youth choir, as part of its community responsibility for music education and social development of the children. A side-project modern choir was established in 2000 with a modern pop repertoire, with a high standard paired with a lot of fun a great team spirit! Matthias Barth has been the conductor of the children’s choir since 1984, moving to the mixed adult choir in 2000 when he also formed the modern choir. Past achievements include performing to over 900 people locally, and tours that include Venice, Vienna, California, and Oregon.
