Formed in April of 2001 by the Jefferson Arts Committee, the Community Chorus has attracted many township adults, Jefferson Township High School students and alumni to its ranks over the years providing an opportunity to individuals who love to sing, are looking for a venue to sing with others, enjoy the challenge of learning new musical arrangements, and want to entertain the public. In August of 2018, Wynne was appointed as the Chorus Director/Accompanist with an extensive and impressive background having just recently retired as the Choral Music Director and Instructor of Music Technology at the Jefferson Township High School where he had worked since 1983.
The Chorus rehearses 10 months out of the year from 7- 9 PM at the Jefferson Township High School Band Room and are always looking for new members -- tenors, basses, sopranos, and altos are welcome; and no audition or previous singing experience is required.
