Singing To Remember Our Germans from Russia Heritage (Video)

On Saturday night, the Germans From Russia Heritage Collection visited Wishek with a tour through our community. The evening entertainment included our Wishek Public School choir featuring kids in grades 7-12. Mrs. Janet Wolff is the director and has taught the choir native German from Russia folk songs. Here are a photos and two short videos from the choir's evening of entertainment.







There was a standing ovation for the choir carrying on the Germans from Russia culture. A huge thank you all that visited Wishek on Saturday and Sunday as a part of the Germans from Russia Heritage Collection. Visit again soon and stay connected with us via this blog and through Facebook and Twitter. Now tell us what is your favorite folk song?

  1. Very glad you got some video footage from this night! Thank you!

    Can I have you make a slight correction though? In the first paragraph you say "the Germans from Russia Heritage Society" visited, but actually it was the "Germans from Russia Heritage Collection" - which you do refer to in the last paragraph.
