When Max Zach was made director he had adverse opinions about women being engaged with such a great number of men and declared himself very frankly, which ended the engagement. As a soloist she appeared before every club of importance in St. Louis, beginning her public appearance at the age of eight years, and also gave concerts and assisted in those given by the Symphony Society, Morning Choral, Liederkranz, Rubinstein and Friday Clubs, and musicales in private homes, which was one of her special lines of work.

Sängerfest 1928 in Vienna Students of Swiss educator Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, a proponent of social reform, applied his teachings when founding some singing groups as an instrument for cultural change. One of his students was Carl Friedrich Zelter, who helped establish the sängerbund movement throughout Prussia in 1809. Pestalozzi's protégé Hans Georg Nägeli was a composer, music teacher and songbook publisher who made numerous journeys across Germany from 1819 to encourage the formation of male singing groups for social reform. Nägeli established several sängerbunds in Switzerland, which became the inspiration for the 1824 establishment of the Stuttgarter Liederkranz. Following the 1819 Carlsbad Decrees in Germany, male-only choral celebrations with hundreds or thousands of vocalists were popular with the masses and often part of political events.
