History of the Blue Ridge Chorale

For thousands of years we’ve known that music soothes the soul, inspires the mind, and enriches the spirit. The Blue Ridge Chorale exists to bring cultural and musical enrichment to its members and community, and to lift the hearts and minds of our listeners through song. The Blue Ridge Chorale is a community chorale which has been serving Culpeper and surrounding counties since 1967. At its beginning, a few music lovers decided to get together to sing, and with guidance and help of wonderfully talented directors and accompanists, the Chorale has expanded far beyond what its originators had imagined. Today singers from as many as seven Central Virginia counties join voices in a wide variety compositions: both classic and modern, secular and sacred, drawing from the works of great composers present and past.
