The Coshocton Community Choir will share its annual Christmas Concert — "The Work of Christmas" — on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025, at 3 p.m. in River View High School's recently renovated auditorium with all-new seating, 26496 OH-60, Warsaw, OH 43844. Admission is free.

The 70-voice choir will be joined by the Coshocton Youth Chorale and The Coshocton Singers in the concert, as well as the Roscoe Brass Quintet, long-time accompanist Dickie Barrick and additional instrumentalists. In total, over 100 musicians from throughout central and east Ohio will participate.

Now in its 55th season, the Community Choir was organized in 1971 by Snyder, a longtime Coshocton teacher, choral director, and church musician.

Each year the Christmas Concert’s theme gives Tom Kulewicz, the Choir’s artist since 1988, ideas for the program cover he then creates. The theme also prompts ideas for the concert narration. The Reverend Rev. Deb Quillen, pastor of Grace United Methodist Church, in Coshocton, has crafted this year's narration.

The concert program explores a wide mix of songs in a variety of styles. The Christmas Concert will again include “Carols in the Round”: the Community Choir will leave the stage and assemble in small groups and surround the audience.

The Choir is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that meets the expenses involved in preparing for concerts each year through an annual fund campaign that’s underway for the 2024-2025 season now. Contributions to support the Choir can be mailed to the Choir at: PO Box 1648, Coshocton, Ohio 43812.

For the second year, no tickets will be required to attend and admission is free. Last year, the Choir replaced paid concert tickets with a free-will donation. The group seeks to make it's music and message available to anyone who wishes to attend, regardless of their ability to purchase a ticket.
