Manassas Community Chorale Inc

Since 1999, the Manassas Chorale has offered Voices United, an annual 2-day workshop and concert open to anyone in the community from high school age through retirement. Since music for Voices United is appropriate for church use, this community outreach is especially valuable to all church music directors and choir members. The workshop is led by a nationally known clinician/conductor/composer, which means Voices United provides an exceptional music education experience to the community. This year, 41 area churches and choral groups were represented. Three generations of one family were among the singers and several parent/daughter or son combinations spanned the generation gap. About 150 singers participate in this event each year.

Since 2007, the Chorale has sponsored more than 30 "Concerts with a Cause.” For these concerts, singers and audience members have donated needed items to charities including Youth for Tomorrow, SERVE, Haymarket Food Bank, BARN Transitional Housing, Prince William County Senior Center, Matthew’s Center for Visual Learning, Operation Homefront, and the Prince William Medical Center Pediatric Ward. "Concerts with a Cause” appeals to the hearts of audience members and has allowed the Chorale to give back to the community. Miller Toyota furnished new vehicles that were parked in front of the Hylton Performing Arts Center before performances in order to collect donations of food and supplies. In addition, the Chorale collects hotel-size toiletries at each rehearsal and delivers a steady supply of these much-needed items to SERVE.

The Greater Manassas Children's Choir (GMCC) is an educational and performance opportunity for singers in grades 2-8 (with unchanged voices). GMCC is a richly diverse group of singers from a variety of backgrounds. Sponsored by the Manassas Chorale, singers are divided into younger and older groups and rehearse from September through May, with concerts in December and May. Directors and accompanists are professional musicians.
