GALION — The Krichbaum Community Concert Series has been established by the Memorial Gifts Committee of Christ United Methodist Church to honor Herb Krichbaum.
Krichbaum’s impact on the people, music and arts of the Galion community is legendary. Over his many years as an accomplished musician he taught, Chaired the Fine Arts Department at Galion High School, and assisted with many memorable musicals.
Krichbaum directed the Galion Community Chorus’ annual presentation of Handel’s “The Messiah” for 25 years. He also directed the choir at First (now Christ) United Methodist Church for 43 years.
“Warm Winter Memories: An afternoon of Holiday Music and Warm Reflection” is the inaugural concert in the series. It will be presented on Dec. 10 at 3 p.m. at Christ United Methodist Church, 130 E. Walnut Street, Galion.
This concert will honor Krichbaum’s legacy by featuring performers and/or music with direct connections to Krichbaum. The concert is free to the public. Donations are encouraged and will be used to benefit the fund for future concerts.
