Virginia Choristers Programs

VIRGINIA CHORISTERS COMBINED CHOIR

We are SO excited to share our plans for this season. A global pandemic can’t stop us from creating beautiful music as a choir family and growing as musicians. So, how do you have choir during COVID-19? By being creative, flexible, focusing on what is possible and by maximizing the incredible silver linings! We’ve imagined a whole new choral experience for you and we're looking forward to seeing you soon! 

What Do We Have Planned? 

We realize each singer and their family has unique needs during this unprecedented time. This season we are planning to offer a hybrid program with modified in-person music education and virtual instruction. Each singer and family can choose the option that best fits their needs. Our 2020-2021 season will include:

  • A hybrid of in-person and online rehearsals beginning the week of September 21! This year rehearsals will take place on Mondays (online) and Wednesdays (in-person/online- see “Keeping You Safe” below) from 6:30-7:10 pm. Wednesday rehearsals will also stream via password-protected Zoom so singers can choose to attend virtually. We will cap the number of in-person attendees each week. More info on that to come as our singer roster is finalized.

  • Weekly musicianship and aural skills classes taught by renowned artist teacher, Claire Jones (UK)

  • Rehearsal tracks for independent practice

  • Virtual performance opportunities

  • Weekly social Zoom time prior to Monday rehearsal just for fun! All students are invited to attend to connect and enjoy time with Choristers friends.

BONUS: All Virginia Choristers will receive, as part of their tuition, complimentary participation in our once a month Artistry Summit which gathers world-class artist teachers and students from around the globe for an incredible musical experience. The Artistry Summits include an inspiring and robust line up of classes, workshops and coachings designed to take your musicianship to the next level! Mark your calendar for the next two Summit dates: November 21 and December 12.
