Baritone John Schlabach was raised in Columbus, Ohio and studied voice at The Ohio State University. He has performed with Opera Columbus for the past 13 years and is honored to continue working and growing with this company. He sings often with groups such as the LancasterChorale, Fior Angelico, and local theater companies, and is very thankful to Peggy for this opportunity. John always wants to give thanks also to his wife and two children for allowing him the time to pursue his passion of music.
