Virginia Consort History
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. Started by a group of experienced singers who wanted to sing under the direction of Judith Gary, The Virginia Consort grew quickly in stature and vision and is now comprised of five choruses for adults and children, including The Chamber Ensemble and The Festival Chorus for adults, The Youth Chorale for young adults, and the Prelude Choir and First Step Choir for younger school-aged children. groups_bio_short : The Virginia Consort offers Charlottesville-area music lovers concerts of exquisite beauty and vitality.
