Fredericksburg Singers

Spring Choral Concert

| edwinridout

University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, Virginia

The Fredericksburg Singers is a college/community group I’ve been thrilled to be a part of. In this concert, before the intermission, the chamber choir and the UMW chorus each performed some of their own pieces. After the intermission, at recording minute 33, the Fred Singers were added to those two groups to perform first the Aaron Copeland song Stamp your Foot, then the Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzen, then the finale from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Gondoliers. Our director is Dr Chris Ryder, and our accompanists (piano for four hands) were Dr Melissa Wells and Dr Robert Wells.

UMW Spring Choral Concert

Chris Ryder directs all three University of Mary Washington choirs combining for the spring concert. This was my second time singing with the college/community group, Fredericksburg Singers. I was particularly pleased that it included Schubert’s Mass in G. Photo clipped from the concert video. About 33:50 is the start of the first piece I’m in, but the Mass in G starts at about 43:05.

I sang with Fredericksburg Singers combined with two other choirs at University of Mary Washington. The main piece is Bob Chilcott’s setting of Native American poetry, accompanied by two pianos and percussion, about 40 minutes. Hear five minutes of another group’s recording below.
