What is Dreigesang?
Wir sind eine ausserordentlicher Gruppe. Wir singen traditionelle Volksweisen, sind aber auch an Neuheiten und Lieder aus dem Alpenland interessiert. Unsere fünf Sängerinnen und einziger Zitherspieler werden von der Gründerin Jo Trinkl geleitet, die uns auf Regionale sowie Eidgenössische Volkslieder vorbereitet.
Thanks to the Austria Club of Washington for supporting us in keeping the musical traditions of the Heimatland alive and available for public enjoyment!
