Reflections

The Chamber Chorale of Fredericksburg has been an important part of the community through the years. Memorable concerts include the annual Christmas Candlelight Concerts which were often performed at St. George’s, always full for both performances, the Olympic Torch Ceremony when the Torch was carried through Fredericksburg, the 10th Anniversary concert of all Virginian composers premiering two commissioned works, the 100 years of Broadway concert in collaboration with the Avery Ballet held at Dodd Auditorium and the performance in the Fredericksburg Festival of the Arts in 1996. From ‘world music’ to choral masterworks by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Vivaldi, Faure, and Respighi, this wonderful ensemble has adapted to various styles and met the challenges of the music. In fact the great joy of working with the Chamber Chorale for me was the level of musicianship and dedication that the singers had and the sheer love and joy of singing they expressed. - Rebecca Tyree, former director of the Chamber Chorale of Fredericksburg, 1993-2003.

The Chamber Chorale of Fredericksburg is a marvelous ensemble.  Their programs are fresh, innovative, and wonderfully performed.  The singers include some of the finest regional teachers who sing at a professional level.  New music director Mary-Hannah Klontz conducts with joy, vitality, and a deep love of music.  I highly recommend the concerts of this exceptional ensemble. - Craig Naylor, DMA, Associate Professor of Music Composition, Theory, Conducting at the University of Mary Washington

The Chamber Chorale of Fredericksburg was founded in 1988 as a small ensemble dedicated to performing high-quality choral music in a wide variety of styles for the cultural enrichment of the community. From a cappella singing to major chamber works with orchestra, the chorale group has been noted for its fine tuning, blended tone, wide range in dynamics, and expressive diversity.

The Chamber Chorale performs 3-4 concerts a year in the Fredericksburg area and participates in various regional events and concert series around the Commonwealth. Noteworthy performances in past seasons have included:

• Fredericksburg Festival of the Arts Annual Music Festival in 1996
• The commission and world premiere of two works by Virginia composers in 1999
• Lakeside United Methodist Church Concert Series (Richmond) in 2000
• 250th Anniversary Concert Series at Aquia Church (Stafford) in 2001
• American Choral Directors Association Regional Conference at Shenandoah University in 2003
• Christ Church Concert Series (Spotsylvania Courthouse) in 2008 and 2011
