About The Virginia Belles
The Virginia Belles are the University of Virginia’s oldest, and most established, all-female identifying acapella group. Simply put, we are a group of women passionate about creating music with each other. The Belles were established in 1977 by Katherine Mitchell, who noticed the stark lack of female representation in the UVA arts scene and set out to change precedent. Entertaining audiences around Grounds and the greater Charlottesville community for almost 5 decades now, the Belles perform a diverse repertoire of pop, oldies, R&B, folk, and traditional songs.
About The Virginia Gentlemen
Founded in 1953 as an octet of the Glee Club, the Virginia Gentlemen are the University of Virginia’s oldest acapella group. Today, being a VG means mastering a massive repertoire for weekly gigs, performing two major concerts each year, and traveling the world to sing. With recent tours in Washington DC, China, Hong Kong, Peru, Southeast Asia, Spain, and an upcoming international tour to Mexico this January, the VGs stay busy. During 2023’s 70th anniversary celebration, when they sang with over 80 alumni, including members of the Original Eight VGs, it became clear that while much has changed at the University and beyond, being a VG is a lifelong bond. At their core, they are a group of people who love to sing and share music.
