Review for Fairfax Choral Society, Inc., Annandale, VA, USA
My first exposure to the Fairfax Choral Society was my son's beginning participation in January of 2008. Immediately, I was so appreciative of the opportunities he had due to his involvement. He loved to sing, and he was not only able to learn great music, but he was exposed to "musicianship" training that helped him improve his singing and musical understanding while having fun. My son was immediately performing with the choir, and had the opportunity to perform with adult chorus/orchestra as well as perform at Carnegie Hall in New York that spring. Since then, my daughter has gotten involved. We have seen great development in her singing voice and her confidence. She enjoys singing so much that she auditioned for a part in her school play this last December. Since she is very shy, this has meant a great deal to us. Fairfax Choral Society has a world-class program for music education and performance. The children have sung throughout the DC area and have performed many different kinds of music. They have grown musically and intellectually, and have made great friends in the process.
