The Virginia Chorale is the Commonwealth of Virginia's premier professional chamber chorus.

The Virginia Chorale is a fully professional performing and educating ensemble drawn from across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Under the artistic direction of Charles Woodward, the singers perform a series of five concerts with programs that feature the world’s greatest choral music. In addition to the annual concert series, the Chorale sponsors the Young Singers Project, a unique opportunity for select high school students to be mentored by the Chorale singers through the rehearsal and performance process.
