The “Chor des Handwerks” choir is made up of 25 men who are bankers, carpenters, millwrights, meat cutters, etc. who joined together to form a unified chorus in 1953. Under the direction of Michael Gernhardt, they have performed all over their home state of Thuringer in Germany. This is their first trip to the US.
