Programs at Beethoven

Founded in 1867, the Beethoven Männerchor has been a leader in San Antonio's German community. Its purpose is to preserve German song, music and language. It is one of the oldest German singing societies in Texas.

The Beethoven Bands are comprised of more than 70 musicians who fill the biergarten with a spirited and diverse selection of music!

The band meets every Wednesday from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Beethoven Männerchor, 422 Pereida St. in the Historic King William District.

If you are interested in joining, contact Al Tapia, Director, at 210-545-5654.

Beethoven Damenchor was founded on March 22, 1932 as an outgrowth of the activities of San Antonio's venerable pioneer male choir, Beethoven Männerchor, founded in 1867.

German Classes are offered at Beethoven as part of a cultural awareness and mission of preservation. 

​

Classes are held next door to Beethoven at the German American Cultural Center, 412 Pereida St.

12 week classes cost $85 per student, which includes the text book.

*We will update as soon as new classes are in session.*

The Beethoven Kinderchor is the children's choir, an adjunct singing group at the Männerchor. They join in the fun and add to events at the club with their voices, singing traditional German music.

Although many in the group do not speak German, they learn to sing in the German language! Children from 4 to 15 who would like to sing in German are welcomed and encouraged to join!
