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.

Join the Warrenton Chorale at the Courthouse steps on May 26 as we salute our Armed Forces with an outdoor concert in downtown Warrenton.  And mark your calendars for our annual Christmas in Music Concerts on December 11, 12 and 13th at the Warrenton United Methodist Church.  

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, children's choirs from our local elementary schools, and area instrumentalists.  This spring and summer the Chorale will be participating in several Warrenton events, and will be bringing the joy of beautiful music to local nursing homes.   Learning, preparing, singing and sharing great music is what we do!!
