Mixed Chamber Chorus

Based in Charlottesville, VA

The Virginia Consort was formed in 1990, held its first formal auditions in 1991, and in 1992 performed Carl Orff s Carmina Burana in the University of Virginia s Cabell Hall. An auditioned Youth Chorale was formed in 1992, and The Prelude Choir began in 1999. With Judith Gary as our Director, The Virginia Consort has performed three major concerts per season from 1992 to 2022. Each season one concert, the Mid-Season Masterworks, includes a large, orchestrated work with soloists and expanded chorus, called the Festival Chorus.

The Virginia Consort has also performed with the Wintergreen Performing Arts Society, performing a Christmas Concert in mid-December. Both The Virginia Consort and The Youth Chorale have performed at the White House in Washington, D.C., and The Youth Chorale has sung at the Washington Cathedral and at St. John The Divine in New York City.
