Mission Statement
To enrich the cultural life of our community through the pursuit of artistic excellence in choral music performance.
About Us
- The Smith River Singers is a group of talented, passionate, committed, non-auditioned volunteer singers from the Martinsville Henry County area.
- Our repertoire consists of a wide variety of choral music ranging from classical to contemporary genres, including both sacred and secular works.
- We rehearse weekly from late August to early December and late January to early May, preparing two sets of music each year. Fall rehearsals focus primarily on music for the winter holiday season, and spring rehearsals include music with a much wider range of themes.
- We perform under the direction of Dr. Pamela Randall, with accompaniment by Beth Chapman. Other guest instrumental musicians may be included in the main concert.
- Requirements for membership include the ability to vocally match pitch, attend rehearsals regularly, attend performances in the requested attire, and work on the music outside of rehearsals. In addition, dues are requested to help cover music and other expenses.
- SRS was founded in 2014 with around twenty singers and has grown to around sixty-five (as of 2018).
