The Dayton Celebration Chorus is an adult community chorus that serves the city of Dayton and the Miami Valley region. Open to all interested adult singers, the Chorus sings a diverse repertoire of both sacred and secular choral literature, with an emphasis on American music. Founded in 2003 as the Schuster Center Celebration Choir, the organization was first sponsored by the Victoria Theatre Asso

ciation. In 2014 the group affiliated with the University of Dayton Office of Special Programs and Continuing Education. Our performance venues have included the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts, Courthouse Square Grand Illumination, Kroc Center, Dayton Art Institute, Victoria Theatre, The Greene, UD Arena, Fifth Third Field, and various churches and retirement communities. Chorus members have enjoyed performance opportunities with the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday Festival Community Chorus, the UD New Horizons Band, the Miami Valley Symphony, and various guest artists and conductors. DCC has been selected annually to sing the National Anthem for the Dayton Dragons at Fifth Third Field.
