VWC's annual WAV benefit concert features a variety of UVA's talented a cappella groups! This year's proceeds will benefit SARA.

Recognizing the power of music to unite and uplift, the Virginia Women’s Chorus is presenting the 9th annual Women Against Violence (WAV) concert Saturday, February 22, 2025. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA). The concert, “Women Against Violence: Lift Me Up”, will feature a wide variety of music – Jazz, Pop, Classical, and more – shared by musicians near and far.

Some of the finest a cappella groups at UVA and in the community will be participating. Hear the Virginia Gentlemen, Virginia Belles, Hoos in Treble, Academical Village People, Flying Vs, New Dos, and No Fella A Cappella! Joining us in our #9thWAVconcert are two UVA ensembles: the Virginia Men’s Glee Club and the Virginia Women’s Chorus. Popular music includes “Landslide”, “Sunday Kind of Love”, and “Birds of a Feather”. Music originally performed by Rihanna, Bastille, Etta James, and Sabrina Carpenter will also be featured.

Tickets may be purchased at the door. VWC accepts cash, checks and Venmo @VWChorus. Student tickets are $10 and general admission is $20. For more information and updates, please visit the VWC website.

The Chorus is most appreciative of the support of the Parents Program that has made this concert possible. Come hear this amazing display of talent on Saturday, February 22, at 8 PM in McLeod Hall.
