"The joy of the Lift the Spirit Choir is just everything that this name says."
- Spring 2026 Member
Our Next Performance
Tuesday, June 9 at 7:30pm
Park Street Christian Church (1200 Park Street, Charlottesville)
Proceeds will benefit a Charlottesville nonprofit
Every Lift the Spirit Cville season ends in a capstone "Song Share" when members perform the songs we have been working on for friends, family, and the public. Songs like:
South African freedom songs
Rising Appalachia
Circle singing
Eastern European folk songs
Leonard Cohen
and much, much more.
At our Song Shares, the audience participates in the material along with the choir, and together, we raise money for a Charlottesville organization doing great work.
Curious what that's like? Here are a few recent Song Shares:
Justice Performances
In 2026, we were proud to be IMPACT Cville's musical presenter at its annual Nehemiah Action event.
We sang to a crowd of 1,500 and moved forward initiatives to address Charlottesville's housing crisis, transit failures, and public safety needs.
Have a values-aligned civic initiative like this one that needs a performer? Reach out to liftthespiritcville@gmail.com to see if we can partner.
Festival Performances
We are proud to have been invited to perform at the annual Tom Tom Festival.
We'll perform alongside other musical acts like Mighty Joshua, DJ Williams Band, 100 Proof, Elby Brass Band, Richelle Claiborne, and Darrell Rose and the Reggae Ambassadors.
Catch us at 5:30 pm on Saturday April 25 on the 3rd Street Stage!
