"How Can I Keep From Singing?" performed by the Lake Ridge Chorale. Turn the sound on and up!
Dear friends ~
For the past fourteen years, the Lake Ridge Chorale has loved providing choral music for our friends in the Prince William County community. Since our group was founded in 2010 by a small group of singers led by our Creative Director, Terry Stackley, we have continued to seek ways to forward our mission: to provide music for our friends and neighbors, and to provide financial support for the nonprofit groups doing such good things for the community we love.
Now, our time singing together for you has come to an end. Our dear Terry has decided to retire, and after lots of soul-searching and discussion amongst ourselves, we have decided to disband the Lake Ridge Chorale.
​
As we prepare to disband, we have kept our mission in mind: we will disburse all our remaining assets to support a) a scholarship administered through Prince William County S.P.A.R.K., which will benefit talented student musicians in the Prince William County Schools system; and b) several local nonprofits nominated by LRC members who hold them dear. So even as we say goodbye, we will continue to help provide beautiful music and continue to support neighbors helping neighbors in our community.
​
​You can help us continue the legacy of the Lake Ridge Chorale, by making a tax-deductible contribution to the scholarship fund we have established. Together we can continue to enrich the lives of student musicians for many years to come.

​Thank you, friends, for your support and patronage for the past fourteen years. We are grateful for the relationships we have forged, the friendships we have gained, and the community we have helped build. And even though we will not be able to sing together for you again, we do have one more request of you: please, please continue to support the arts in Prince William County! So many wonderful groups are making such beautiful music; how lucky are we?!
