Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.

Fulbright Partner Elected President of Houston’s Oldest Musical Group
Fulbright partner Rodney Koenig has been elected president of the Houston Saengerbund, the oldest known musical group in Houston. Founded in 1883, the Houston Saengerbund (Singing Society) was initially formed for German immigrants in Houston to join their countrymen and sing songs in the German language. Today, the Houston Saengerbund is still thriving with over 100 members and seeks new singers, as well.

The group continues to perform at public events as well as singing every Tuesday at the First Lutheran Church, located at 1311 Holman in midtown Houston.

Koenig, who grew up on a farm where primarily German was spoken, sings in two choirs a week—the Houston Saengerbund and the Christ the King Lutheran Church. When he’s not singing in Christ the King’s choir, he plays the trumpet for the church.

Koenig is also the past president of the Houston Early Music, an organization whose purpose is to present historically-informed performances of early music from the European traditions and other world cultures, mainly from the 15th and 16th centuries. He is also a board member of The Bach Society, a 24-year old group that performs the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and other composers in his tradition.
