Marietta, Ohio (10/11/2019) — Marietta College's Department of Music will conduct its annual Fall Choral Concert at 7:30 p.m., Friday, October 18th. The concert will be held at the First Congregational Church, 318 Front St., Marietta.

"This year's choirs are bigger than we've had in years," said Dr. Jay Dougherty, Director of Choral Activities. "It's so much fun to work with this many students. The talent this year is booming, and the students sight-read very well and respond like experts to instruction."

Performing will be the Concert Choir and the Women's Choir.

"I have chosen some harder music this year and the singers have stepped up to the plate to prepare it," Dougherty said. "I'm excited to share what we've prepared with our audience."

The concert is free and open to the public.

Located in Marietta, Ohio, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college. Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy back in 1797, the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today Marietta College serves a body of 1,200 full-time students. The College offers more than 50 majors and is consistently ranked as one of the top regional comprehensive colleges by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review, as well as one of the nation's best by Forbes.com.
