“Coming here has changed my life. My hope has been renewed, I’ve made tons of new friends I know I’ll have for a lifetime, and the music is absolutely gorgeous. No one goes to the Workshop who is not changed for the better.” – Cardinal Chorale member

The Chorale’s Season

Unlike many choir camps or honors choirs, the music making does not end with the Workshop. The Chorale reunites in December to sing a traditional post-Christmas concert in Pickerington, again in January for a reunion-weekend in Coshocton, and then in June for a week-long tour around Ohio. The last tour included ten concerts in Marion, Columbus, Toledo, Dayton, Gahanna, Dublin, Bolivar, New Philadelphia, and Roscoe Village; four impromptu performances, and featured a repertoire of 65 songs performed for 1,325 appreciative audience members.

Chorale members enjoy ice cream at Lakeside Chautauqua on Lake Erie.
