Contributions to support the choir can be mailed to the choir at: PO Box 1648, Coshocton, Ohio 43812. Patrons receive tickets to the choir’s Christmas and spring concerts.
The Coshocton Community Choir’s Festival Christmas Concert, titled Come, Let Us Adore, will be on Sunday, Dec. 4, at 3 p.m. at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium, located at 1205 Cambridge Road in Coshocton. The concert will feature the adult choir, The Coshocton Singers, and the Coshocton Youth Chorale, accompanists Dickie Barrick and Mark Wagner, The Roscoe Brass quintet, and percussion.
