Who We Are
The Worthington Chorus is multi-generational group that boasts members from their late teens to their 90's from all over the Central Ohio area.

Beginning as the Worthington Community Chorus, the Worthington Chorus was founded in 1976 by the late Robert L. Stewart and performed with the Worthington Songsters until 1985. It is one of the few choruses in the country to perform all styles of music - classical, contemporary, rock, Broadway show tunes, and old standards - to name a few.

The Worthington Chorus performs at community events and has two major performances during the year, a Fall Concert and a June Show. The Fall Concert comprises of traditional and classical music, and the June Show theme includes popular music with sets and costumes.
