Jacqueline Smith is the Music Director for both choruses and delights in working with all interested singers. While we sing more in German than in English, we have many members who speak both German and English, and there are a goodly number of our members who do not speak or understand German - but love to sing and are very happy to be a part of this singing experience.

🎶 Love to sing? Come sing with us!

The Franklinville Schwarzwald Männerchor (FSM) is welcoming new singers for our 2026 - 2027 season.

We’re a 20-voice men’s chorus bringing together men from across the region to perform German folksongs, classical and popular music—and to enjoy the camaraderie of making great music together.

Most of our music is in German, but you do NOT need to speak German to join.

If you’re a man aged 18 or older who loves to sing, we have room for your voice. Come visit a rehearsal and give us a try.

There are no auditions, and you don't have to be an experienced choral singer. Just a love of music and singing and a desire to grow and learn.

What a fine time at the United Singers of Philadelphia Evening of Song at the Cannstatter Volksfest Verein yesterday afternoon! We started the concert with a rousing set of German TTBB. Many thanks to Washington Sängerbund and Delaware Sängerbund for making the trip to NE Philly to sing, and of course, thanks to our partner chorus Damenchor Wald-Echo for their beautiful set of SSA. We missed you, Reading Liederkranz and Lancaster Liederkranz!

What a wonderful day! It was truly an honor to see the borough of Rockledge rename Huntingdon Pike to PFC Helmut Boehm Memorial Highway today, in memory of our wonderful Helmut Boehm, who passed away last year at the age of 99. Helmut was such a gentle soul who sang with us for many years, but also a true American hero. He fought bravely in WWII and saved many lives, including the liberation of a concentration camp. It was such a privilege to be a part of the ceremony and share this moment with his family and members of the Rockledge and German communities. Thank you to all of those that made this happen!
