We promote music and the arts in the greater Fredericksburg area. All events are at St. Peter’s Lutheran unless otherwise noted.

We offer community concerts and scholarships to local high school seniors enrolled in and who wish to continue music. The Society's roots go back to the mid-1990s when a group of singers got together informally led by various directors to prepare for an annual presentation of Handel's Messiah in December of each year. In 1998, Barbara Perry stepped forward to lead the informal group, which came together each year by word of mouth from various local church and community choirs. The 1999 performance saw an increase in the size, technical proficiency, and community attendance at the concert. A group of singers from that group decided to form a more formal governance structure to ensure that the performances would continue and the Stafford Regional Choral Society (SRCS) was formed with Barbara Perry as the founding musical director. With more formal governance, and Barbara's dynamic leadership, the newly formed Choral Society immediately expanded to offer additional concerts throughout the year. Currently, we produce a minimum of 4 free community productions. In January of each year, SRCS holds auditions for scholarships. Local high school seniors (public or home-schooled) who wish to pursue music studies at the college level are invited to apply and audition for these scholarships. Over the years, SRCS has had the privilege of being led by some amazing directors including the witty and fun-loving Jason Michael. Starting in the fall of 2023, Director Anola Douglas joined SRCS bringing her bright and energetic spirit to continue the legacy of SRCS and to increase its impact on the community.

Our director, Anola, is off performing in her choir this weekend so this is a reminder that we have no practice Sunday, 10/25. Here are some great practice tips for our Sunday apart. We can’t wait to get back together 11/1!

And we have so much fun doing it!

You sing. You love singing. Not because you want to be famous. Not because you need to prove anything to anyone. But because it makes you feel like YOU.

And somewhere between work, children, relationships, washing, cooking and being everything to everybody else… it’s very easy to forget that you’re allowed to have something that’s just yours.

Something you get excited about. Something you want to get REALLY good at. Something that brings you joy.

And yes, you’re allowed to take it seriously too.

You’re allowed to have singing lessons, practise that ridiculously difficult song, invest in your voice and feel ridiculously proud when you finally hit THAT note. 😂

You don’t have to earn the right to spend time doing something you love.

So here’s your little reminder from me today.

Keep singing. Keep learning. Keep making time for the woman you are outside of all the other roles you play.

Because she matters too. 💜🎶

Everyone was locked in today! Only our second rehearsal and we are already making great progress.
