Three choirs inspire with a rousing autumn concert in Niedernberg!

The colorful sounds of a cheerful autumn evening filled the Niedernberger Musicum on Saturday. Three different choirs got the audience singing and rocking along.

An evening full of surprises

Things got particularly lively when the young band Butterfly from Mömlingen carried the audience away with hits like “Sucker” by the Jonas Brothers and “Ain’t Nobody”.
