About the Freudig Singers of Western New York
Freudig Singers are an auditioned, professional-caliber chamber ensemble dedicated to broadening the musical experience of all people of Western New York regardless of their income.Stay tuned for upcoming shows and our 25th Anniversary Year in 2009. In case you are wondering, "freudig" is the German word which means in English "joyfully." Do not read this website unless you are looking for joy in your life. In our quality choral performances, Freudig Singers present the standard choral literature as well as music of contemporary composers many of whom are local to the area. From our inception in 1984 under founder Kathleen Keenan-Takagi and continuing under the leadership of Roland E. Martin, we have focused on the education and enrichment of our audience and concert partners, offering concerts in a variety of venues around Western New York incorporating area children's choirs, exceptional high school choristers and the area's finest instrumentalists. Some Freudig Singers concerts are made possible in part by grants from the Arts Council in Buffalo and Erie County with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts' Decentralization Program. |
