Karaoke with the Blacksburg Master Chorale for a good cause!

Join us with your own favorite song, October 23, 6–10 p.m. at the Blacksburg Country Club. There’ll be a taco and salad bar, wine, beer, and sodas — and plenty of laughter, music, and fun!

$40 adults, $10 students with ID, $100 family rate (at least one adult with children).

We’re raising money to fund the music for our spring concert — music director Dwight Bigler is composing the full orchestration of his newest pieces, set to poems by Blacksburg’s own beloved bard, Nikki Giovanni. We’ll be premiering the expanded pieces with a full orchestra at the Virginia Tech Center for the Arts in our concert on April 28, 2027, with the Virginia Tech Philharmonic and the Virginia Tech Choirs.

Come sing with us, and help us raise money to get this new music out into the world!

A program of love transcending hardship, with sacred and secular reflections on love’s journey. Featuring music by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec of love stories told through letters spanning four American wars. And a tour of distinctively American genres like Broadway, gospel, and folk by songwriters Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Moses Hogan, Rosephanye Powell, and more. 

Including performances by guest soloists Danielle Talamantes, soprano; Kerry Wilkerson, bass-baritone; Brian Thorsett, tenor; and Jason Crafton, trumpet. 

Tickets $20 general admission, $15 seniors, $10 students
