Online ticket sales for this event end at Noon, Saturday, 10/19/2019.
We will have more tickets at the door – box office opens at 6:45 pm.

We sing AMERICAN QUILT, 7:30 pm, Saturday, October 19 at Providence Presbyterian Church (9019 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax, VA 22031). It’s a wonderful repertoire of our shared American musical heritage. The kind where anyone can simply wait for an opening, and step into the common square of song to rediscover the music you forgot you knew and loved.

Do you have your tickets? You might want to get them fast! Because we’re sharing the stage with special guests from James Madison High School’s Madison Select Singers and Madison Madrigals (dir. Claire Rowan) and Orchestra (dir. Erin Eberly). 

It’s going to be a packed stage, but as a teaching choir, we wouldn’t have it any other way!

We’re often asked what “teaching choir” means. It’s simple: We welcome and support singers and musicians on all points of their artistic journey. Beginners learn how to simply be on the stage or in the audience, emerging artists find a place to polish their craft, and adults come to find joy whether they’re singing or listening.

More than anything else, everyone on stage learns from one another. VCS singers share in the infectious optimism and energy our guests bring to the concert. And our younger partners discover that music can be a lifelong pursuit that enriches us immeasurably. As Ms. Rowan and Ms. Eberly put it, “Having a chance to move out of our own auditorium and perform with fellow musicians from our town is such a gift. Our Madison students are able to see the great joy that comes with a lifelong pursuit of musical excellence and what fun it can be to make something beautiful with your community.”

At a teaching choir, everyone wins, and everyone’s day is a little bit sweeter for the music. So come join us! Fall right into the music you love well and just haven’t heard in a while. Chances are you remember all the words.

Thank you so much to our friends, family, and supporters for making our Friends of VCS a smashing success!

With that, we dive into final prep for our first concert of the season.

We sing AMERICAN QUILT, 7:30 pm, Saturday, October 19 at Providence Presbyterian Church (9019 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax, VA 22031).

From the poignant “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” and “He’s Gone Away” to the uplifting rise and fall and rise again of “The Boatsman’s Song” and “Simple Gifts,” this is a concert of shared American musical heritage where anyone can simply wait for an opening, and step into the common square of song.

We’re delighted to share the stage with special guests from James Madison High School’s Chorus (dir. Claire Rowan) and Orchestra (dir. Erin Eberly). These are amazing, already highly skilled musicians led by some of the finest music educators in these parts. We can’t wait to sing with them, and for you.

So come and hold your breath with a room full of people. And fall right into music that’s been there all long and waiting to be rediscovered. Join us!
