The German Canadian Male Chorus of Calgary is currently under the direction of Susan Woodward and is accompanied by Corenna Phillips. The membership is about 40 voices at present. In addition to its own annual concerts, the Male Chorus has been a guest of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Calgary Opera Chorus and the Calgary Concert Band. The choir also performs at various special events such as the annual Christmas Choral Concert at Knox United Church and the traditional Prairie Sängerbund Festival every two years. The choir has recorded a CD featuring some of its favorite and most popular musical selections. The Chorus maintains close contacts with German Choirs in Europe, Canada and the USA. Strong friendships have been formed with several European choirs as the result of seven trips to Germany, the most recent in 2008.

Der deutsch - kanadische Männerchor aus Calgary singt zur Zeit unter der Leitung von Susan Woodward. Die Klavierbegleitung liegt buchstäblich in den Händen von Corenna Phillips. Vierzig aktive Stimmen geben in Calgary jährlich ein Konzert und nehmen an vielen zusätzlichen Veranstaltungen wie Weihnachtskonzerten, teil. Der Chor hat eine CD mit ihren Lieblingsliedern produziert. Ein grosses Anliegen des deutsch - kanadischen Männerchores ist die Kontaktpflege mit amerikanischen und europäischen Chören. Die letzte grosse Konzertreise im Jahre 2008 führte den Chor nach Deutschland und Spanien.

Im Jahr 2011 begangen der Chor sein 40-jähriges Jubiläum.

In 2011 our choir celebrated its fortieth anniversary.
