The UVA Chamber Singers invite the UVA and Charlottesville communities to their spring concert at Old Cabell Hall – Friday, Apr. 14th at 8:00pm. The performance will feature Passion Music, including Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, excerpts from Poulenc’s Four Lenten Motets, Lotti’s “Crucifixus” motet, and several movements from Scottish composer James MacMillan’s stunningly powerful Seven Last Words from the Cross, a work originally aired in seven evening episodes on BBC Television. The Chamber Singers will be joined by musicians from the Charlottesville Symphony, as well as several guest soloists.

Founded in 2005, the UVA Chamber Singers is a select ensemble drawn from the University Singers, and performs a wide variety of music for chamber choir ranging from early music to contemporary compositions.
