I stayed away 15 months hiding from Covid but now I’m back: Fredericksburg Area Runners Club’s weekly 10k no-frills run from Hyperion Espresso. Photo by club president Brian Pessolano.

The Fredericksburg Community Chorus’s 51st annual Messiah had to be virtual. Although last year’s 50th performance was the complete Messiah, this year’s may have been the least complete (under 30 minutes!) See it on YouTube here. The anonymity of my preferred seat in the back row seemed somewhat diminished, as surely I must have spent at least a few moments under the director’s microscope. But the number of singers grew due to collaboration with the Williamsburg United Methodist choir. Photo by Elspeth.
