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! Tuesday night practices are at the German House--our next performance will be for the Austria Club Weinfest at the Benson Barn in North Bend...check the Events page for details and keep in touch for any changes to our schedule!
