About the Chorus

WVC has evolved into the premier Triangle chorus for sopranos and altos. While performing a wide and diverse repertoire, we remain steadfast in support of our threefold mission to: provide a welcoming place in the Triangle for women to share the joy of singing together, promote choral works written by and for women, and strive to achieve the highest standards of musical excellence.

Read on for more in-depth information about the chorus that’s been called “versatile and innovative” and “a special treasure, worthy of the attention of serious music lovers throughout the Triangle and beyond.”

Come to a concert! All ages will be delighted with our fabulous variety of music.

A chorus can’t survive on love of music alone. Private donations make the difference.

We welcome auditions from women of all ages: high school through retirement.
