About The Tree<\/div>

Unique in Germany…
\n The “Singing
Christmas Tree\u00ae<\/sup>“<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The “Singing Christmas Tree” idea comes from America, where a first “Singing Christmas Tree” was presented in 1954 by the Charlotte Choral Society. Later the idea spread out in the USA and other countries. “The Singing Christmas Tree” of the GACC is the only one in Germany. Our original scaffolding was designed by the corps of engineers of the American army, but in the meantime we have a modern scaffold 6,50m high, which gives space for 64 singers. Setting up the tree each year for Christmas is a complex project managed by an engaged team of choir members.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Repertoire<\/div><\/div>

Our repertoire includes a wide range of German, American and international Christmas carols and sacred songs. An integral part of each program along with some other songs, is Warren Martin’s “Christmas Medley”. This arrangement was commissioned for the Charlotte Choral Society’s Christmas program in 1967. It is a sonorous Christmas tribute that traditionally forms the powerful finale to any Singing Christmas Tree concert before ending with “Silent Night”.
\nWarren Martin war Leiter der Theorie-Abteilung im Westminster Choir College, New Jersey, wo Doris Cross, Gr\u00fcnderin und musikalische Leiterin des German-American Community Choir, zwischen 1973 und 1978 studierte.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Konzertorganisation<\/div><\/div>
Mehrere Teams von Chormitgliedern investieren jedes Jahr viel Zeit, um die Tree-Konzerte m\u00f6glich zu machen. Dies beinhaltet den Aufbau des Trees mit der Organisation der erforderlichen Gewerke wie Ger\u00fcstbauer, Tischler, Dekorateure, Elektriker und des Statikers f\u00fcr die Abnahmepr\u00fcfung sowie die Einhaltung der Sicherheitsma\u00dfnahmen und der gesetzlichen Vorschriften. Genauso wichtig sind auch die Vorbereitung der Umh\u00e4nge, die Organisation und Unterweisung der externen Helfer, die Beschaffung der Musik und nicht zuletzt die \u00d6ffentlichkeitsarbeit, um die Konzerte zu einem Erfolg zu machen.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Externe Helfer<\/div><\/div>
Bei den Konzerten unterst\u00fctzen uns viele externe Helfer, die sich um Ticketkontrolle, CD-Verkauf, Unterst\u00fctzung von Behinderten usw. k\u00fcmmern. Die Helfer k\u00f6nnen die Konzerte kostenlos verfolgen und viele sind schon seit Jahren \"Tree\"-Fans.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/ss3-loader><\/div><\/div>
