Coshocton Community Choir concert

The 70-voice Coshocton Community Choir, including auditioned singers from 11 Ohio counties, will share its Christmas concert, “The Work of Christmas,” at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025, at River View High School, 26496 OH-60, Warsaw, OH. Admission is free for the 90 minute concert, including the Coshocton Youth Chorale, The Coshocton Singers, The Roscoe Brass and additional instrumentalists; and will feature a selection of sacred choral music, including arrangements and settings of familiar hymns, classical and popular works, spirituals and more.

The Coshocton Community Choir was organized in 1971 by Charles R. Snyder, an accomplished Ohio teacher, choral conductor, and church musician. “This is our 55th season!” said Snyder.   “The average lifespan for a community ensemble like this is seven years; so for us to survive eight times that is remarkable and not possible without the support of this community. When I started the Choir I was seven (just kidding…) I never dreamed it would continue and thrive all these years later.”

Snyder shared that he and the choir hope this concert will be a break for concert goers from ‘the work’ of getting ready for Christmas.  “We want it to recharge your batteries and fill your soul,” he said.   “May it help you do all the things on your ‘to-do’ list in such a way that your ‘work of Christmas’ is done with renewed enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you and singing for you.”

The Coshocton Community Choir is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and meets expenses involved in preparing for concerts each year through its patrons’ contributions and donations at concerts. For more information about the Choir and upcoming concerts, visit CoshoctonCommunityChoir.org, or call 740-623-0554.
