The 20 year old Columbus Children's Choir - "The Voice of the City" - performed their annual Christmas concert last weekend, in conjunction with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The landmark Ohio Theater - built in 1928 as a Spanish baroque "palace for the average man" - served as host venue for this year's concert. Our 13 year old granddaughter, Lucy, is in her third year singing with the Columbus Children's Choir, which is comprised of children from grades three through twelve. This was our first opportunity to see her perform live...and we had front row seats to boot. What a wonderful program and a delightful time! We are very proud of Lucy.
The stately Ohio theater, as it looks today...
...and as it looked in the 1930's.
The theater is located next to the delightfully decorated Columbus Commons.
An outdoor stage on the Commons is located just on the back side of the theater.
One spot on this ornate foyer ceiling has been deliberately left unfinished so that future generations will have something to add.
