Hilliard Community Chorus
The Hilliard Community Chorus is a non-auditioned chorus of singers open to anyone high school-aged and older. The chorus performs three full-length concerts per year, including an annual performance of Handel’s Messiah, a Hilliard tradition going back nearly 50 years!
The choir is directed by Logan W. Fletcher, music teacher at Hilliard Crossing Elementary School and a graduate of the Conservatory of Music at Capital University. Logan brings a high energy level to rehearsals where his passion for choral music is infectious with all participants.
The chorus rehearses weekly (currently at Hilliard Presbyterian Church) on Sunday afternoons/evenings and you do not need to be a Hilliard resident to join, just love to sing! Come join us and bring a friend!
Spring Info:
Our overarching theme for this season, home, asserts that this is more than just a space or place, but a feeling we carry with us, always. The chorus will explore this central idea through dynamic repertoire ranging from sacred to secular, classical to contemporary, and from serious to silly. They say “home is where the heart is,” and this group has it in spades; whether you are a seasoned professional or are a seasoned shower singer, you will perform at a high a level and find JOY in the process.

Hilliard Youth Choir
HYC REGISTRATION WINDOW: Please register by March 17 for this season of youth choir!
The Hilliard Youth Chorus is a non-auditioned chorus of singers with unchanged voices (treble clef ranges) in grades 1-7 who want to have fun, make new friends, and sing beautiful music. No prior singing experience is necessary. The goal of the Hilliard Youth Chorus is to help kids develop good singing technique, expose them to new songs and musical styles, and empower them to find their voices through music!
The choir is directed by Meredith Kennedy, who loves making music with children of all ages! She has taught vocal music in several K-12 programs in Ohio and Northern Virginia. These positions allowed her to direct children’s choirs and musicals, while inspiring a community of young musicians. Meredith earned her Music Education degree at Capital University, and received a masters degree in education at George Mason University. Ms. Kennedy teaches at Washington Elementary School, where she can be found singing, dancing, drumming, playing ukulele, and teaching students how to find joy in making music!
There is a seasonal participation fee of $50 for this choir which supports the costs of directors, accompanists, sheet music, etc. The chorus rehearses weekly at the Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center on Wednesday afternoons (see specific dates/times listed below)
