Concerts

The Blue Ridge Chorale has been providing wonderful choral music to Culpeper and Central Virginia since 1967. Please enjoy some of these photographs and songs from our previous performances. Many thanks to Culpeper Media Network for recording our concerts for all to enjoy.

Our 2023 Winter Concerts were very exciting.  We performed two concerts this season.  The first at The Lake of the Woods Church in Locust Grove, Va. Our final concert was held at Culpeper United Methodist Church in Culpeper. We received nothing but positive feedback from people who came to our concert!  The video recording is posted below courtesy of the Culpeper Media Network. Blue Ridge Chorale Winter Concert 2023

The 2022 Winter Concert was wonderful. We have a new director, Melanie Bolas. She and the music team did a fabulous job this season. Due to building construction at Culpeper Baptist Church, we rehearsed and performed at Culpeper United Methodist Church. We are so grateful to CUMC for allowing us to use their facilities.  We filled the house, standing room only, with music and Christmas Joy.
