I would like to find out about availability to perform in Alexandria, VA on the evening of September 8.
Hi Nona,
What type of performance venue are you looking for us to perform in?
Hi Nona,
After checking with the other group members, we are unable to perform for you on 9/8. Please keep us in mind for the future.
Sincerely,

Good morning,
I am the choir director at Heritage Presbyterian Church located near Mt Vernon In Alexandria VA. I am contacting you to inquire about obtaining one of the arrangements you recorded on a cd you released in 2004. The carol is titled O Bethlehem. I have been unable to locate that piece anywhere. I look forward to hearing back from you and appreciate your kind assistance.
Hi Jeffrey,
I will get that information to you later today. I love that arrangement too! Hope all is well in Alexandria! Happy Thanksgiving!
All the music says under the title is: “Basque traditional carol, are. E.P.”

Hi, my husband and I were so looking forward to hearing you guys sing at the Old Towne Holiday Music Festival in Portsmouth (which sadly is not much of a festival anymore). Anyways, we walked around and around and around looking for you everywhere and never found you. With the rain last year, this makes two years in a row we have missed you and it makes me so sad!! It’s just not Christmas until we’ve heard you sing to us that the geese are getting fat (fat)!!! Just wanted to let you know that you were sorely missed and we will try again next year…Merry Christmas!!
Hi Jane. We were there strolling and singing from 11-3 today! I’m so very sorry you missed us! We are singing 2 lobby concerts on 12/22 at the Williamsburg Lodge, from 4:30-5 and 5:30-6, if you can make it??! We also have our CD Echos of Christmastide for sake on our site here.
Good afternoon, we are looking forward to hosting you all at our Winter Wander Trail of Lights here at Boar’s Head Resort. Can you send me a a high resolution photo of your group that I can use on our website? email: jhanning@boarsheadresort.com Thanks!
Hi Joe,
I just saw this message on our site, but I believe you have the photo at this time.
Thank you so much,
Ellen
I’m hoping to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary at George Washington’s Mt. Vernon, south of Alexandria – Friday, November 25th. Do you have that date available?

Ellen, The Betsy Ross room at Mt. Vernon is available that evening so part way there. I’m planning on renting costumes for guests if they can’t find their own. Let me know if some or all of your group is available and the cost. Thank you, Bob

Hello,
All 5 of us are available. For an event like this, especially with us having to stay over night, the fee would be $1200. Please let me know if you are interested.
A tentative go but I’ll know for sure by Friday after I meet with folks at Mt. Vernon. Bob

I forgot to mention that my nephew Rodrigo Vega was a member of your group years ago when there was an earlier director. He and his sister will discuss a collaboration for the occasion. He’s a choir teacher and she sings professionally. Only the three of us will know about the entertainment outside of your group so it’s a double surprise for Bonnie and a surprise for everyone else. Bob

I would like to secure your group for a performance on Saturday, July 1 offering your Songs of the Founding Fathers. Would you be available on that date at about 11 am?
Hi Bryan,
Thanks for reaching out. Our group is available. We need more information from you at your earliest convenience.
I responded to you from sopranogirl@cox.net. Please respond back to that email, as it is easier to communicate back and forth from there. I look forward to hearing from you.

Looking for an appearance on Thur 12/5/24 at Williamsburg Inn for a Christmas Banquet. Likely looking for holiday songs from 5:50 – 6:20pm or so.
Hello Jeff,

Hi! I own a small restaurant in poquoson and want to know if you would consider performing at our traditional Christmas Dinner on December 9th. Guestsarrive at 6:30 and the dinner is over by 9pm. If you would consider this, what would the cost be?
thank you!

P.S. I really love history in high school. I’ve earned two major history awards as well. I’ve done military reenactment for many years of different time periods

Hello Samantha,
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Good evening,
I would like to check availability for January 16, 2026 for a dinner hosted at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.
Hello Samantha,
Thanks for the inquiry. Can you possibly give me more details to present to the group? I will check with the other members and get back to you asap.
Thank you so much for getting back to me. This would be needed for about 4 hours at most with a few songs to be sung. The event is from 6pm-10pm with a reception from 6pm-7:15pm and dinner from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Our goal is to have a few songs sung either during the reception or actually during the dinner. I would love to schedule a call to discuss more and get pricing.
Hi Samantha,
Thanks for the request. Please send me more information on event, time and Length of performance, etc… thank you. We are discussing the possibility of this event.
