Stafford Regional Choral Society (SRCS) will present “Home for Christmas,” an afternoon celebration of the holiday season on Sunday, December 12, 2021, at 3:00 p.m. at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church (1201 Courthouse Road, Stafford). The concert is free to the public. For the safety of all performers and audience members, we request that everyone wear a mask for the 75-minute concert.

SRCS is thrilled to return to live rehearsals and performance after 18 months of silence throughout the pandemic. The concert features live performance by a select ensemble from the full Choral Society and a virtual choir screening of a video by the larger SRCS family. Holiday favorites, such as “Carol of the Bells” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” celebrate the season in a variety of genres from classical to gospel. We are also proud to share the stage with soprano, Belen Tarifa, one of the recipients of the 2021 SRCS Scholarship.

A freewill donation will be collected during the concert to support the SRCS Scholarship Program, which awards outstanding, local high school pianists, instrumentalists, and vocalists who plan to continue music performance in college. SRCS recently announced its 2022 Scholarship competition. Auditions will be held on January 8, 2022, at Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church.

The Stafford Regional Choral Society is a 501(c)(3) organization, under the direction of Jason J. Michael with Carol M. Yeh at the piano. Founded in 2001, the chorus of singers from Stafford and the surrounding area promotes choral music and performing arts education through its annual three-concert season.
