THE GBU SAXONIA-RHEINGOLD CHOIR

                                    HISTORY

         It all started in 1923 right here in Detroit.

A group of  German Immigrants met as members of:

The Deutscher Unterstuetzungsbund.

That name was changed to Greater Beneficial Union.

At the same year, some of these men established a Male choir.Three years later some of the German Families decided to establish a Ladies choir as well.

At the same time, Immigrants from Siebenbuergen, the Transsylvana Sachsen started a mixed choir and soon they held joint practice sessions together.

During 1936 these three choirs established:

          “The GBU Saxonia Gemischter Chor”

They sang together for 57 years until 1993 when the Male choir Rheingold joined us and the name became:
  

     THE GBU SAXONIA-RHEINGOLD CHORUS
