DE Male Choir Association; Female Choir; Krnov
AB The Male Choir Association in Krnov was established in 1858 by tranforming an original Liedertafel. In the beginning of the 20th century it grew into one of the biggest and most significant music ensembles in Krnov. Its repertoire frequently included the major works of European music creations as well as short figurations connected with folk songs or Liedertafel. Among the most significant choirmasters we can find Konrad Schmitz, a conductor, music teacher and instrumentalist from Krnov. Besides the male choir there was also, from 1877, the Female Choir, which was later merged with the Male Choir Association.
