There’s a Storm Comin’ when the Virginia Women’s Chorus takes the stage on Saturday, April 2, at 4 pm in Old Cabell Hall. Come and be inspired by music that invites your spirit to soar, even during times of adversity. Celebrate spring with all-time favorites And So It Goes and Over the Rainbow, classics, folk songs, and lively spirituals. An all-female string quintet will accompany the Chorus in the extraordinary Song of the Universal, based on Walt Whitman’s poem of optimism and conviction in the strength and beauty found in our deeper humanity.             

The Virginia Women's Chorus, conducted by Katherine “KaeRenae” Mitchell, is committed to excellence in the performance of classical, contemporary and diverse music from the challenging choral literature for women's voices.  The Chorus seeks to inspire in the choral art form through the celebration of women’s repertoire.
