The Columbus Symphony Chorus, currently celebrating its 49th season, continues to excel under the direction of Maestro Ronald J. Jenkins. Under Jenkins’ leadership, the Chorus has grown both in the quality of its performances and in the diversity of its classical repertoire.

The 130-member Chorus, comprised entirely of volunteer singers from central Ohio, performs major works from Bach to Mahler. Past performances have included the requiems of Brahms, Verdi, Fauré, Mozart, and Duruflé; the Bach B Minor Mass; Mozart’s Grand Mass in C Minor and Coronation Mass; Haydn’s Lord Nelson and Harmonie Mass; works by Rossini, Orff, Walton, Britten, and Prokofiev; and concert performances of operas.

For the 2009-2010 season, the Chorus will participate in a number of concerts with the Columbus Symphony.  These concerts include Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, under the direction of Günther Herbig, taking place October 9, 10 & 11 in the Ohio Theatre; 26th Annual Holiday Pops, under the direction of Ronald Jenkins, taking place December 4, 5 & 6 in the Ohio Theatre; and Classical Concert #10, conducted by Joana Carneiro, taking place April 10 & 11 in the Ohio Theatre.

Chorus auditions for the 2010-2011 season have been scheduled for January 6, 2010. Click here for more information.
