Virginia Women's chorus

for women, for music, for excellence

Auditions will be held September 1st - 6th!

Are you looking for a collaborative community of musically-minded people as well as a new group of friends? Well, you'd be glad to know that auditions for The Virginia Women's Chorus are September 1st - 6th in Old Cabell Hall.

VWC is a talented and well-known ensemble that just celebrated its 50th year of music and sisterhood. The Chorus is the oldest music group for treble voices at UVA and sings pieces from a wide variety of genres. We welcome treble singers of all gender identities and expressions, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive and affirming space where every voice is celebrated. The Chorus’s performances, drawing hundreds of attendees, include the annual Candlelight Concerts, Women Against Violence a cappella benefit concert, annual Spring Concert, Rotunda Sing, and several gigs throughout the year. Members also have fun at a variety of social events every month!

Auditions will be held in classrooms in Old Cabell Hall from September 1-6. Please prepare a verse and chorus from a song of your choice. Any genre or style is welcome—something that shows off your voice! Auditions will include sight-singing, but your sight-reading skills will not make or break an audition. Voice quality, intonation, and a good ear are important. Please sign up for a specific audition time slot, and plan to arrive five minutes early. We can’t wait to meet you!

UVA's oldest women's music organization. Established 1974.

The Virginia Women’s Chorus is committed to excellence in the performance of classical, contemporary and diverse music from the challenging choral literature for treble voices. The Chorus seeks to inspire and enrich others through the choral art form.

The Chorus is unique in that it is a student-run organization with a hired professional conductor. It is comprised of undergraduate and graduate students from numerous degree programs. Several singers from the Charlottesville community have participated in the Chorus as well.

VWC is affiliated with the University of Virginia Department of Music. Although this organization has members who are University of Virginia students and may have University employees associated or engaged in its activities and affairs, the organization is not a part of or an agency of the University. It is a separate and independent organization which is responsible for and manages its own activities and affairs. The University does not direct, supervise or control the organization and is not responsible for the organization’s contracts, acts or omissions.

 

The Chorus appreciates all of the past and future projects supported by
