The University Singers is the University of Virginia’s flagship choral ensemble, heard by thousands each season in performances of a cappella and accompanied choral repertoire, including major works with orchestra. In 2017, the group joined the Charlottesville Symphony on the steps of the Rotunda to perform for UVA’s Bicentennial Launch Celebration, before an estimated crowd of 20,000. In recent years, the Singers have also sung for Les Misérables creators Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil during their UVA residencies, sung for the 2016 UVA Holiday greeting which received more than 400,000 views on social media, and given the regional premiere of Bernstein’s Mass as part of 2018 Bernstein centennial celebrations. During the pandemic, they presented virtual performances, and hosted online master classes with Eric Whitacre, Alice Parker, and other choral luminaries – and since have returned to live singing with performances of Johnson’s Considering Matthew Shepard, the Rachmaninoff Vespers with the Oratorio Society of Virginia, and the North American premiere of Ešenvalds’ St. Luke Passion with the composer in residence. The group regularly tours the U.S. and internationally, most recently taking a May 2025 tour to the Baltics, which a included performance with members of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and Latvian Opera Orchestra. The 2025–26 season began with performances with the Charlottesville Symphony of Dvořák’s Mass in D and the beloved Family Holiday Concerts. Stay tuned for more info on the 2026–2027 season.
