The Ovation Singers is a Staunton based choral group created in 1985 to serve the specific needs of its audiences. Performing educational, historical, seasonal and entertaining concerts, using many of their own special musical arrangements, they offer programs relevant to the audiences' themes and events.

In this celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Great War Armistice, they will present a concert of music associated with the War and Staunton's own unique association with it.

Singing for festivals, celebrations, and civic or church events, they have become the Valley’s musical ambassadors, with appearances throughout Virginia, from Yorktown to The Homestead.
