It is the only Liederkranz in Nebraska. The town is the birthplace of Velveeta and Liederkranz cheese. In 1983, Lopardo won first prize in the Liederkranz Foundation competition. He called it a Liederkranz ('wreath [or garland] of songs'), rather than a Liederkreis ('song-cycle'). The Villa Musica also offers tuition through the Stadtkapelle and Liederkranz music associations. He returned to Schweinfurt in 1968 and led the oratorio choir "Liederkranz Schweinfurt". At one point, Van Wert was the only place in the world producing Liederkranz cheese. It was built in 1911-1912 for the local "Liederkranz", or German-language choir, founded in 1870. The Liederkranz returned the visit to Pontypridd one year later. That was the last batch of Liederkranz to be made for 25 years. "Love of Life" originally came from Liederkranz Hall on East 58th Street in Manhattan. The Liederkranz hall is a historic building in Grand Island, Nebraska. In 1949, the large Liederkranz Hall space was physically rearranged to create four television studios.
