Founded in 2005 and conducted by Michael Slon, the University of Virginia Chamber Singers is a select subset of the University Singers, and performs a wide variety of music for chamber choir ranging from early music to contemporary compositions. Recent performances have included the Palestrina Missa Brevis, Britten’s Hymn to St. Cecilia, Bach's Cantata 150 and Cantata 61, Schubert's Mass in G, Brahms' Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes, and Orff's Carmina Burana with the University Singers and Charlottesville and University Symphony Orchestra. In addition, the group has performed popular standards by Harold Arlen and Jerome Kern, and new music by Meredith Monk (with the Meredith Monk Vocal Ensemble) and Eric Whitacre.
