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
