Mission and History
Mission is the expression of the essence of an organization. Our mission expresses our core values, purpose, primary goals, and vision.
The mission of The Virginia Consort is to enrich and perhaps even change lives with choral music. The Virginia Consort is committed to excellence in choral music. Our performances will be places where all present—performers and audience—share a common delight in music and are renewed by it. We aim to bring music alive for those who perform and who listen; enriching our lives through a shared experience of the vast world of choral music.
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 since 1992, one of which includes a large orchestrated work with soloists and expanded chorus.
The Virginia Consort also has regular performances with the Wintergreen Performing Arts Society. 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.
