Gentlemen of Song Since 1854

About Me


The Maennerchor THEN...
The Maennerchor NOW... (annual dinner, 07')
Calling ALL MEN in the Central Indiana area...
Sing with the longest continuously performing
men’s choir in the United States…
The Maennerchor meets in the Davenverein Room at the Athenaeum at 7:00pm every week this fall and winter to rehearse a diverse repertoire of music designated for the beauty of the male voice.
With a rapidly growing diverse membership and audience, we think you’ll discover why so many men join us each week, and hope you’ll consider the year-round pleasure of weekly rehearsals and special performances. Check our calendar for more details, and see you there!

Founded in 1854, The Indianapolis Maennerchor is an open membership men's choir, building on its history as one of the oldest continuously performing choral groups in the United States. Maennerchor invites men from all walks of life to blend their voices in the creation of glorious sound.

Maennerchor enjoys time-honored bonds with the German-American community, its culture, and its heritage. Maennerchor holds a distinctive place among Indianapolis choirs, and consistently strives for musical excellence, responsiveness to our community, and creative growth as an organization.

Join us in our 153rd season of song at our performances, or visit us at maennerchor.org for details on becoming a member.
