Choirs return to campus

Why we sing!

Last year, when singers all over the world could not sing together, it became a time of reflection about what it means to be a singer.

The members of the Ohio State Chorale, the university’s flagship SATB chorus, shared what it means to them. "Why Singing is Important to Me"

We are thrilled that Chorale — and all the choirs at Ohio State — will sing together again, and we look forward to the 2021–2022 concert season.

Choirs at Ohio State are open to all students. If you are a singer, join us.


Enjoy 2020–2021 virtual performances by the Ohio State choirs.
