Hi, We’re Glad You’re Here!

Jubilate is a unique and compelling music ministry serving UVA students and the entire University community since 1973. Jubilate is grounded in a commitment to high standards, musical excellence, joyful praise, and openness to diversity and inquiry.

This student choir performs a repertoire of challenging and meaningful choral music: accompanied and a capella, sacred and secular.

In partnership with University Baptist Church and more than 700 alumni, Jubilate is the oldest choral group of its kind on the University grounds. Membership in Jubilate holds the promise of welcome and belonging – and a community that lasts long after graduation day.

A Message from an Alum

I was in Jubilate from 1974 through 1979, singing one extra year because I decided to stay in Charlottesville after graduation. In Jubilate, I sang with Carl Beard, but I have also had the pleasure of singing in the University Baptist Church Sanctuary Choir with Len Willingham, Mike Norris, Kevin Holland, and Alba Beasley. I also had the privilege of serving as Jubilate’s Business Manager during two different “interim” years. The first was 1995–1996, during Kevin’s first year when he was the part-time interim director. The second was 2001–2002, when Jeff LeDuc was the interim director, and Alba came onboard halfway through the year.

I still sing in the UBC choir, in the Virginia Consort (a local semi-professional chamber choir), and in the Virginia Baptist Women’s Chorale, along with fellow board members, Joy Eure and Jen Bates.
