About me
The Virginia Belles are the University of Virginia’s oldest, and most established, all-female identifying acapella group. Simply put, we are a group of women passionate about creating music with each other. The Belles were established in 1977 by Katherine Mitchell, who noticed the stark lack of female representation in the UVA arts scene and set out to change precedent. Entertaining audiences around Grounds and the greater Charlottesville community for almost 5 decades now, the Belles perform a diverse repertoire of pop, oldies, R&B, folk, and traditional songs.
