See About the Songsters for more information. Note: the Songsters are currently on hiatus due to the pandemic.
The Choir (with the Songsters) performs three concerts each year. We perform a Holiday Concert in December in conjunction with the Clintonville Community Band, a Spring Concert in April at Calvary Bible Church, and a Summer Concert in August at the Park of Roses as part of the Civitan Club of North Columbus Summer Concert Series.
