COLUMBUS — A regional celebration of youth music is coming to Columbus later this month, as the Columbus Indiana Children’s Choir hosts the free Hoosier Hills Choral Festival concert.
The festival concert will take place on Saturday, October 25th, at The Ridge Church in Columbus.
“This annual tradition is such a special one for our singers and for the community,” Director of CICC’s Concert Choir and festival organizer Melissa Garcia said in the release. “It truly brings out one of the best parts of music – coming together to work on a common, shared goal of making beautiful art.”
Five children’s choirs from across the state and region are scheduled to perform during the event:
- Columbus Indiana Children’s Choir (Host)
- Cincinnati Youth Chorus
- Evansville Children’s Choir
- Indianapolis Children’s Choir Lyric Choirs
- Shelbyville Middle School Choir
The concert will also feature Guest Conductor Ruth Dwyer, who is the director of education emerita of the Indianapolis Children’s Choir.
Organizers emphasize that the event is free and open to the public, with no tickets required. However, donations will be accepted to support the non-profit work of the Columbus, Indiana, Children’s Choir, which offers programs for children from ages 4years old through 8th grade.
