The 1993 Finals Concert of the Virginia Glee Club, John Liepold, conductor, concluded the 1992-1993 season with reprise performances of Young T.J. and When David Heard by Benjamin Broening, the two commissioned works of the season. Held on the eve of graduation, May 22, 1993 in Old Cabell Hall, the concert was the last performance in Cabell Hall for several years because of renovations that began during the Glee Club 1993-1994 season. The concert also featured traditional spirituals and University songs, as well as the traditional Finals Concert performance of the Biebl Ave Maria with the graduating Glee Club members, including Jim Heaney, Matt Benko, Chris Doyle, John McLaughlin, and others performing the semichorus parts.
