Ashland Area Chorus announces plans for 2022 spring season

ASHLAND, Ohio – The Ashland Area Chorus (AAC), a community-based mixed choir, has finalized its spring 2022 season, including rehearsals, concerts and membership requirements.

Beginning Monday, Jan. 10, the AAC will rehearse each Monday evening from 7-8:30 p.m., inside room 242 of Ashland University’s Center for the Arts. The group will not meet the night of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but will resume weekly rehearsals on Jan. 24.

The AAC will perform two programs of beautiful music this spring, according to Ron Blackley, director of choral activities at Ashland University. More information about those events will be announced soon.

The AAC is open to the entire Ashland community and beyond. Singers have come from Richland, Medina, Wayne, Holmes, and Crawford counties as well. Previous choral experience is helpful and encouraged. While there are no strict age limits, singers under 18 must be approved by the director.

The AAC has performed at regular AU concerts, with the Ashland Symphony Orchestra (ASO), and for the Ohio Choral Directors Association. Recent appearances have included subscription concerts with the ASO and the summer pops concert in the park.

Current members should encourage their talented friends and neighbors to attend the first rehearsal and make a vocal contribution to this fine musical organization. For further information, please contact Ron Blackley, at rblackle@ashland.edu or 419-289-5114.
