The History of the Medina Chorus
The History of the Medina Chorus
The Medina Chorus has been enriching and engaging our community through the performance of choral music for 91 years. Started in 1934, it is one of the longest standing arts organizations in Northeast Ohio, and was founded as an opportunity for Medina area high school students and community singers to perform Handel’s Messiah. The Chorus continued to perform throughout WWII when men’s sections were lean, and eventually added a spring season to present lighter works each May.
Over the years the Medina Chorus has performed over 300 choral works. In the last decade, our repertoire has included major works by Handel, Haydn, and Britten, as well as folk songs, spirituals, madrigals, carols, popular tunes, American musical theater, and choral works from around the world.

Under the musical direction of Mike McClintock, the chorus continues to grow and is developing new opportunities to provide quality choral music and education for the greater Medina area. Our non-auditioned, mixed-voice ensemble includes over 75 members of all ages and backgrounds who come from throughout Northeast Ohio. As a vibrant part of the Medina arts community, the Chorus performs spring and winter concerts each year, and also performs at community events, including the Medina Candlelight Walk and a summer concert with the Medina Community Band.
