Geschwister Caldarelli

Geschwister Caldarelli, a German folk music trio from Sosa in the Erzgebirge region, consisted of sisters Tisilda (née Tischler), Pierina (née Lorenz), and Annina (née Arend) Caldarelli. Their breakthrough came with their victory at the 2nd Erzgebirgisches Streitsingen on April 21, 1939, which was broadcasted on Reichssender Leipzig two days later. The trio gained prominence through radio programs and record releases of folk songs. Following World War II, they resumed performances in 1946. Their notable appearances include a concert in Prague for 5000 spectators and the DDR television show Da lacht der Bär. After Tisilda's retirement due to pregnancy in 1953, Hilde Kranz joined as her replacement. The group disbanded after their final public performance on September 14, 1974.
