Fairfax, VA
Under the direction of Richard Lewellen, the Fairfax Jubil-Aires were chartered November 30, 1953, and they have been a positive force in the community ever since. Each year, in addition to their annual show and their Singing Valentines, the Jubil-Aires chorus and quartets perform throughout the area at such places as the White House Ellipse, Fairfax City parade and fireworks displays, county and city parks, cable TV, ball parks, senior citizen residences, conventions, banquets, and other social events.
During the pandemic, the Jubil-Aires met every Wednesday evening starting April 1, 2020 on Zoom (with the exception of January 6, 2021). Over the last couple year, the chorus has produced 11 virtual songs that are posted on YouTube. After meeting in their cars for some Carbershop Carmony, they returned to in-person rehearsals in 2021. January of 2022 finds us back on Zoom until the Omicron surge fades.
The Jubil-Aires can't wait to once again resume meeting in person at 7:30 PM each Wednesday at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, 13421 Twin Lakes Dr., Clifton, VA 20124. Director Richard Lewellen is a dynamic and innovative barbershopper and leader. If you enjoy singing, whether or not you have any musical training, this group may be right for you. Visitors are encouraged and always welcomed, whether they come to sing or just to enjoy listening to a musical style that has pleased people for over a hundred years.
The Jubil-Aires are more than just an a cappella male chorus. The Jubil-Aires are a family, dedicated to great singing and the wonderful fellowship that comes with it. Wives and sweethearts are actively involved in this family, and we are especially proud of the support we receive from our Jubil-Ladies. Our goal is to provide Fun, Fellowship and a Sense of Accomplishment as we constantly learn new songs that are aimed to please our audiences. If you and your family are looking for an extended family and the chance to sing, JOIN US!
