Alpine Thunder Celebrates 20th Anniversary

February 12, 2024

We certainly did not think that we would be an active German Folk/Pop music group for 20 years in the Chicagoland area.  It all started with a neighbor conversation, and next thing you know we successfully completed a number of performances in that same year.  Thanks to all that made it possible!  We are looking forward to many more performances to come.  Prost!
