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 here, and plan to arrive ten minutes early. We can’t wait to meet you!
