Join us December 1, 2023, at 9:30pm in Old Cabell Hall or December 2, 2023, at 8:00pm at University Baptist Church for our 83rd Annual Christmas Concert!
We look forward to welcoming you to our 83rd Annual Christmas Concerts at Old Cabell Hall and University Baptist Church!
This season the Lawn will be bustling with holiday cheer and activities, including the Lighting of the Lawn (LOTL) which has been scheduled for Friday, December 1, 2023, from 7:00-9:00pm. So that LOTL goers may enjoy a traditional Glee Club concert after the Lawn is lit, we have moved our concert start time to 9:30pm. Come early! Enjoy the festivities on the Lawn and stay for an unforgettable evening of song in Old Cabell Hall!
If 8:00pm is your preferred concert time, we encourage you to buy tickets to attend our Saturday, December 2 concert at University Baptist Church.
If you have already purchased tickets for 8 PM on Friday night and need to change or refund your tickets, please contact the Arts Box Office, Tuesday-Friday 12:00-5:00pm, at artsboxoffice@virginia.edu or 434.924.3372.
Please arrive at least 45 minutes prior to our performance for parking and security before our Friday night concert – the Lawn will have a security checkpoint for LOTL. Questions? Reach out to our general manager, Travis Lively at manager@virginiagleeclub.org.
Alumni Picnic
Thanks to those who showed up for the Alumni and Friends first alumni picnic in Alexandria, VA on October 28. It was the perfect day to wish conductor Frank Albinder a happy birthday!
