Oktoberfest Celebration and Silent Auction
*** Buy your tickets online - Space is LIMITED! ***
Tickets are $50 per person with advanced purchase only (no sales at the door).
“What? Oktoberfest??” you ask? “But it's nowhere near fall, even!”
We readily recognize that, but what we do know is that there really should be no limitation on such a great celebration. Couple that with the opportunity to hear a truly professional choral ensemble like the Meistersingers, and it makes the question irrelevant. Instead, the point of joining together with the single-minded focus of helping to continue this art-form becomes readily apparent.
So, bring a friend, your appetite, a healthy thirst and get ready to enjoy an evening like no other.
Date/Time:
April 21, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Location:
Old World German Restaurant
Old World Village
7561 Center Avenue, Suite 49

Welcome to Meistersingers. If you are new to our group, welcome! We hope you enjoy! Our mission:
Meistersingers is committed to continuing this path and expanding their influence in the music community through different means such as composition competitions and scholarships. Our goal is to ensure the continued growth of the choral art.
The 2012-2013 Season
Summer is on the lighter side. Much lighter! Our Nonsense and Silliness concerts will feature nonsensical texts and outlandish writing.
There once was a choir from 'rnge County
not known to be very clowny
well they planned this concert of fun
filled with jokes, and rhymes, and pun
they'll astound and confound
smiles'll surely abound it's a good way to give up your bounty!
That's right...talk about bang for your buck! Better than any comedy club or new Judd Apatow movie, come see and hear the Meistersingers as they hone their comedic chops on some of the funnest (it is a word now, btw) stuff ever written. There are plays on words, great presentations of funny folk songs, and some simply silly sillyness suited for splurging on side-splitting shenanigans. We will sing a witty Irish Blessing, "Latin" settings of some of our most cherished children's rhymes, and even a sung report on the weather! We have well respected texts of Edward Lear in the insanely difficult "Nonsense Songs" of Petrassi along with other nonsensical yet virtuosic settings. We also have a premiere of new songs by local composer Kevin Weed - "Are you Kidding Me?" is something you'll be saying quite a bit! There is something for everyone in this concert - no wait, actually, its all for everyone! There is nothing you won't absolutely enjoy! Dont' miss our last concert of the season. And the louder you laugh - the better we'll sing!!!
