As a successor to Alfred Labonte, the association's day on 01.03.2026 in Hattert Dr. Tanja Machalet elected as the new head of the Westerwald Choral Association.
With Dr. Tanja Machalet, member of the Bundestag and active singer in a choir of the choir association, the project choir Wallmerod, we have found a candidate who is very committed to the cause of choral singing and also has best connections to many political, social and economic decision-makers, who will certainly benefit the choral singing in the Westerwald and the association work in the choir association Westerwald.
