You will not want to miss these sublime candlelight concerts December 5th at 5:30 pm and December 6th at 3:30 pm! Step into the wonder and celebration of this glorious season with the Virginia Women’s Chorus 42nd Annual Candlelight Concerts. These concerts have been called Charlottesville’s best-kept secret and welcome many returning listeners each year who leave imbued with the true spirit of the season. They are often called “more than a concert”!

These concerts will feature sweet and reflective selections, accompanied by Anastasia Jellison, professional harpist, as well as upbeat and fun selections. With a variety of emotions and languages, the program showcases the variety that has become a hallmark of the Virginia Women’s Chorus.

The Chorus is unique in that it is a student-run organization which hires a professional conductor. This is the first year under the direction of Dr. Addison “Addie” Walton. Virginia Women’s Chorus is composed of undergraduate and graduate students from numerous degree programs and provides a nurturing and fun community for students and community members.

These concerts have often sold out or have been close to capacity and it is advised that tickets be purchased early to ensure seating. Tickets may be purchased through the online here and at the door beginning 30 minutes prior to the concert.

Accolades come from many concertgoers and include comments such as this: “The concert was stunningly beautiful, sensitively programmed and a musical treat of the highest order. It really was quite amazing.”
