Mixed Voice Community Ensemble

Based in Columbus, OH

On April 20, 2016, the Helvetia Mannerchor and the Edelweiss Damenchor formally merged to form the Schweizerchor Columbus, or as most people call us, The Columbus Swiss Singers.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, movements to establish democratic governments arose in central Europe. To capitalize on their love of singing and to teach democratic ways to the people, singing societies were created in Switzerland and Germany. As the Swiss emigrated to America, they brought their singing societies with them. Thus, they created a cultural institution that would preserve the traditions of the Fatherland and provide a place where new immigrants could find comfort and friendship.
