Choral Showcase
Join the University Singers, UVa Chamber Singers, Virginia Glee Club, and Virginia Women’s Chorus for the traditional Family Weekend Choral Showcase—Saturday November 1st, 7:00 pm in Old Cabell Hall on the famed Lawn at the University of Virginia.
The concert’s lively and varied program will feature selections from all four ensembles’ 2014 repertoire—including Franz Biebl’s beautiful “Ave Maria,” the folksong “Shenandoah,” a Norwegian yoik by Fjellheim, and American works including Eric Whitacre and several spirituals.
The evening will close with a joint performance of “Do You Hear the People Sing” from Les Misérables (following upon a UVa residency by the show’s authors Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg), as well as the beloved UVa songs, sung by the combined choruses (nearly 200 voices strong), who will be joined on stage by their alumni.
The Virginia Women’s Chorus is conducted by KaeRenae Mitchell, the Virginia Glee Club is led by conductor Frank Albinder, and the University Singers and UVa Chamber Singers are directed by UVa faculty conductor Michael Slon.
