The Woodbridge Community Choir is inviting singers of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to join its 60th anniversary season, according to a press release from the all-volunteer group. The first rehearsal for the Christmas program is set for Monday, Aug. 31, at the Lutheran Church of the Covenant, 15008 Cloverdale Road in Woodbridge, with new members asked to arrive at 7 p.m. to register and practice beginning at 7:30 p.m. The choir rehearses every Monday at 7:30 p.m. and will present “WCC 60th Anniversary Traditional Christmas Music,” a program of sacred and secular arrangements, on Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 3 p.m. at the A.J. Ferlazzo Building in Woodbridge. Instrumentalists are also welcome, and the group is particularly interested in younger adults.
Founded in 1966, the non-auditioned choir has long offered free public concerts in the Woodbridge area and performed at sites including the Kennedy Center and on NBC’s “Today” show. Resident Musical Director Lee Irwin Culbreth said the group has brought people together through music, friendship and community service for six decades. The press release does not state whether the December concerts are free or require tickets, and it lists the performance venue only as the A.J. Ferlazzo Building without the full street address (15941 Donald Curtis Drive). For details on joining or attending, visit woodbridgecommunitychoir.org or call 703-672-3651.
