Come Sing with Us!

If you are interested in singing please contact the Artistic Director, Dr. Betty Karol Wilson at 540-740-8841 or by e-mail.  Auditions are held in September and January at Emanuel Lutheran Church, Woodstock VA.

Masterworks Chorus welcomes all singers age 15 and older who:

• Have had chorus or choir experience

• Can match pitch, and                

• Will commit to the rehearsal and performance schedule 

Upon acceptance into MWC, the singer is expected to participate in all concerts unless the Conductor has expressly asked him or her to participate in fewer concerts or to sing only in specific concerts. Singers may request to sing in less than the full season if personal commitments preclude their full participation. Such an arrangement is made with the Conductor.

There are two ensembles within Masterwork chorus in which you may participate

•  Masterworks Chorus SATB choir.  Meets every Monday at 7:30 pm.
•  Masterworks Women's Ensemble. Meets selected Mondays at 6:30 pm.

 We encourage singers to participate the entire singing season!
