Thank you to the friends, family, and neighbors who joined us at the Chorale masterworks concert in March.

Route 66, arr by Kirby Shaw
Shenandoah, arr by Bryan Sharpe
Homeland (also known as “Jupiter’s Theme” from The Planets), arr by Z. Randall Stroope

The Northern Virginia Chorale presents “A Step Forward”
on March 28 at 4 pm, featuring:

A Procession Winding Around Me by Jeffrey Van, poetry by Walt Whitman: a powerful, tonal, and emotionally resonant four-movement choral work capturing the Civil War's progression from anxiety to reconciliation. The guitar accompaniment is noted for its evocative, percussive, and atmospheric role.

Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg: a highly acclaimed five-movement choral work that explores moving from darkness to light through sacred texts. Released in 2022, it is praised for its emotional depth, lush harmonies, and accessible yet sophisticated style.
