Warrenton Chorale

The mission of the Warrenton Chorale is to enrich the lives of our singers, audiences and community by performing diverse styles of choral music.

More About Us

The Warrenton Chorale is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is able to accept tax-deductible donations from the public. Your donations through Give Local Piedmont enable us to present high quality music to the entire community.

The Warrenton Chorale is celebrating 70 years of making beautiful music!  Join in the celebration this May 27 as we salute our Armed Forces with an outdoor concert in downtown Warrenton.  And mark your calendars for our annual Christmas in Music Concert, highlighting favorite Christmas selections from our 70 years.   

The Chorale was originally composed of adult singers from area churches brought together to form a community choir to celebrate the Christmas season. Today, the Warrenton Chorale draws singers from a much broader geographic area--individuals who love to sing all types of music from the traditional to modern.  The Chorale is known for excellent directors and talented accompanists.  Chorale concerts have included handbell choirs, childrens’ choirs from our local elementary schools, and area instrumentalists.  This year, the Chorale will be inviting talented high school choristers from around the area to join us.  

Welcome our new Artistic Director, Wendy Oesterling. Wendy brings to the Warrenton Chorale a wealth of knowledge and experience with choral music, choral singers, and music audiences. The following are just a few things from her extensive resume that we think will be of interest to you. She is/was:

• A seasoned choral conductor, church musician, and music educator
• The founder, current conductor, and artistic director of The Piedmont Singers  which is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary
• The director of choirs and orchestras at Liberty High School in Fauquier Count from  2008-2016
• The Managing Director of Winchester Musica Viva, a professional level chamber choir, for 10+ years, and a singer with the choir since 1995
• The Church Music Director at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Middleburg from 1995-2020 and at Grace Episcopal Church in Berryville from 2020-present

We look forward to seeing you at our concerts in May and December!

Thank you for your generous support and for keeping beautiful music a part of our lives and yours!
