Come Sing with Perrysburg Chorale! Rehearsals Begin on August 29.
We’re looking to welcome new singers for our 2022-23 season. If you love to sing and would like to make music with our wonderful community of singers we would love to hear from you. We rehearse Monday nights, September through May from 7-9 PM at Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts.
There is no audition necessary, but the director does need to hear you sing to know which section of the choir you belong in. This is a very simple, unstressful meeting with director Dennis Blubaugh during which you will be asked to sing one verse of a song of your choice (without accompaniment) and sing through a few vocal exercises so that the director can establish your vocal range. Join us August 29 at 7 PM at Owen’s Community College! Can’t wait to meet you
