The Virginia Glee Club Celebrates 155th Anniversary

Gentlemen,

Nothing is better than spring in Charlottesville! March 2026 will be a great time to reconnect with old friends, and make new ones, as we share the bond of making music together! Memories become brighter when they are re-lived in community. Think about “Notes from the Path,” Biebl’s “Ave Maria,” “From Rugby Road,” and “The Good Ole Song.” These are woven into the fabric of who we are, even if it’s been a while! As a special bonus for those in my era, Don Loach, age 98, hopes to be able to attend! Please make your plans now so that we can have a great turnout for the 155th year!

Dan Vincent (Col class of ’85)
Glee Club President 1984-85
