Support from individuals keeps the Beethoven Männerchor strong and vibrant. All donations are used to and allows us to preserve our German traditions, from German music, food, and language.
Membership Options
Active (singer)
If you would like to be a singer, the choirs are always looking for new people to lend their voices to the cause. Our directors will be glad to talk with you. On your first visit, they'll sit down at the piano and ask you to sing a few notes to determine the part that's best for you.
Passive (non-singer)
Many members who join do so simply to be a part of Beethoven in a non-singing way. That's great! But please keep in mind that being a member is to be a part of this community. When you join, we want to see you around. Come out to volunteer for work parties, make yourself available for the food line or parking lot, and be a champion of Beethoven Männerchor in your corner of the world.

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. The children have sung at the Halle as well as the Dallas Saengerfest, Menger Hotel and an international music festival in Killeen, just to name a few!
The children rehearse on Tuesday evenings beginning at 6:45pm.
Tuesday Night is Member Night!
Member night is a fun way to get involved!
It's also when the choirs rehearse.
The men convene at 8 p.m. every Tuesday.
The women convene at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays as well.
Afterward, members usually stick around for fellowship, to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries or other life accomplishments, and learn of upcoming events and how to get involved. An added benefit to member night: reduced member night prices in the Club Room! Those who are not members even enjoy this benefit. But we'd love for you to become a member nonetheless.
