It was founded in 1850. It was one of a number of important cultural organizations created beginning in the late 1840s, which helped German culture survive and disseminate after a wave of immigration to the United States.[1] It claims to be "one of the oldest singing societies in the United States". It was named after the Greek poet-musician Arion.
Arion performs regularly in the Baltimore and Washington areas. The group has also performed at a reception honoring Ludwig Kossuth, and at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Arion Gesangverein has continued to perform at the Gettysburg Cemetery's anniversaries, most recently in 1988.[2]
AwardsEdit
In 1950, the organization won the Zelter-Plakette award, given out by the Deutscher Saengerbund.[2]
