ASHLAND — The Ashland Area Chorus, a community-based mixed choir of about 50 singers, has announced its 2021-2022 season.
The fall rehearsal schedule begins Monday, Aug. 30, with the chorus meeting on Monday nights from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Ashland University in room 242 of the Center for the Arts.
They will perform a program of beautiful music at the AU Fall Concert on Oct. 24 and participate in the annual Festival of Lights on Dec. 12.
The Chorus is open to the entire Ashland community and beyond. Singers have come from Richland, Medina, Wayne, Holmes and Crawford counties, as well. Previous choral experience is helpful and encouraged. While there are no strict age limits, singers under 18 must be approved by the director. There is no cost to the singer.
The AAC has performed at regular AU concerts, with the Ashland Symphony Orchestra and for the Ohio Choral Directors Association. Recent appearances have included subscription concerts with the ASO and the summer pops concert in the park.
Current members should encourage their talented friends and neighbors to attend the first rehearsal and make a vocal contribution to this fine musical organization.
