We’ve all got our own reasons for joining BRS and singing with each other, turns out there’s a lot of benefits too! What was your reason?

The power of choral singing and its impact on health and the community Numerous studies have proven the positive impacts of choral singing on mental, social and physical health and well-being. Let's take a look at them.

Hi folks! We had a GREAT first rehearsal- there were laughs, learning, reunions, and smiles all around. And the best part? There’s still time if you want to come join us for an exciting season, tell your friends we would love to see them there! Send Ryan our director an email at [email protected] to learn more and get signed up. We welcome all voice parts but could especially use some more tenor and bass. We hope to see you there!

Also- does anyone recognize this piece? 🎶

Auditions are coming up fast on August 16, have you signed up yet? It’s an easy, low pressure 10 minute audition that helps the artistic director find the right place for you with the Blue Ridge Singers.

Did you also know we offer scholarships? We believe that anyone who wants to sing shouldn’t be turned away due to their financial situation. If this is you, go ahead and fill out the scholarship form while you’re signing up to audition!
