Coshocton Community Choir Starts 55th Season Jan. 25, Seeks Singers

The Coshocton Community Choir announced Jan. 19 that it will launch its 55th spring season with rehearsals beginning Jan. 25 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, and it is actively seeking singers to join the ensemble. The choir, which draws members from across the state, has openings for first sopranos, tenors and basses, and plans a spring concert on Sunday, April 26.

Organized community choirs like Coshocton's serve as one of the region's longstanding cultural institutions, offering both a public performance and a participatory outlet for residents. The announcement signals an opportunity for local singers to contribute to a seasonal program that culminates in an April concert, providing a visible arts offering for Coshocton audiences and surrounding communities.

Rehearsals will begin at Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Jan. 25. The choir office is handling recruitment and logistics; interested singers are encouraged to contact the choir office by phone or by email, and additional information is available on the choir’s website. The ensemble’s statewide reach means Coshocton will continue to host singers who travel into the county for rehearsals and performances, sustaining regional arts ties and bringing additional foot traffic to downtown and nearby businesses on concert days.

Beyond the immediate artistic value, the choir’s return to regular rehearsals highlights broader civic considerations. Long-running community arts groups contribute to quality of life indicators that local officials and planners factor into town development and cultural funding decisions. The program offers a volunteer and civic engagement channel for residents looking to connect across generations and zip codes, and the spring concert presents a public gathering point that reinforces community networks.

For prospective members, openings for first sopranos, tenors and basses present a practical entry point into an established organization preparing for its spring program. For audiences, the April 26 concert will mark the season’s public culmination and a chance to assess the choir’s repertoire and role in Coshocton’s cultural calendar.

As rehearsals begin next week, the immediate next step for residents is practical: singers who want to participate should contact the choir office by phone or email to learn about audition or placement procedures and rehearsal details. For the broader community, the choir’s 55th season reinforces Coshocton’s position as a regional hub for participatory music-making and a venue for shared cultural life through the spring concert and related activities.
