WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL CHORUS AND MIDDLEBURG CHAMBER SINGERS  

RENAISSANCE DINNER  February 20, 2010

The Washington International Chorus hosted a Renaissance Dinner and fundraiser for our chorus at the Briar Patch on Hwy 50 on the way into Middleburg.  People were encouraged to wear Renaissance dress and join in our festivities.  The event was held at the Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn in Middleburg.  The seated dinner for 100 featured the King and Queen of the land, the court jester and his two assistants (students from the theatre program at Notre Dame Academy in Middleburg), and 28 chorus members singing Renaissance songs. We expect this will be an annual winter event. 

Middleburg Virginia Christmas Parade and Festival - December 5, 2009

The Washington International Chorus were strolling carollers in the Middleburg VA Chrismas Parade and Festival on Saturday, December 5th.  Our group could be identified by our red scarves.  We sang carols in a range of languages.   

 The parade, in the snow, began with the parade of the Middleburg Hunt horses and hounds at 11 am on Main Street in Middleburg, followed by bagpipers, kids on ponies, floats, and all manner of local groups and with our chorus singing carols all the way.  Some of our members are shown below.  Great fun! 

Congratulations s to Buffy Nicolas, the winner of our Guitar Raffle - a  fundraiser for the Washington International Chorus. Thank you to everyone who participated – We exceeded our fundraising goal of $2000.00 and could not have done it without your help!!
