Currently under the
direction of Toni Ryan, the children's repertoire is tailored to meet the
needs of growing voices and a variety of skill levels. The very youngest
learn German nursery rhymes that teach the concepts of opposites, numbers, times
and seasons, and parts of the body. The older children learn to sing in
rounds and two and three part harmony. At all levels, there is a heavy
component of building German vocabulary, good musical practices, and
performance art.
Performances are scheduled
several times per year throughout central Ohio. Our uniforms are German
Tracht, Dirndls, and Landhaus (or German Country) dresses and Lederhosen (or
German pants). We have a number of
costumes and make sure all our singers have access to what they need.
Opportunities:
Travel & Scholarships Our chorus members have been the
recipients of Summer Art Camp Scholarships. We travel to several Central Ohio
Oktoberfest and German Culture celebrations to perform and promote German
Heritage. We are planning a group trip to Germany for the 50th
anniversary of the Columbus Kinderchor in 2019.
