On March 24 - 26, 2017, THE MAIN Event: A Celebration for the Arts, presented by TowneBank, will bring a private weekend celebration of arts and culture to downtown Norfolk.
With presenting partners Virginia Arts Festival and the Business Consortium for Arts Support, Gold Key | PHR will celebrate the arts community with the goal of raising more than $1 million for local arts institutions and programs.
Throughout the weekend of ticketed events, guests will be treated to an array of curated visual art experiences along with a diverse program of live performances from Virginia's leading performing arts organizations. Headlining the weekend of performances, Tony Award-winner Kelli O'Hara will take center stage at Saturday's black tie Gala.
Accompanied by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, conducted by internationally acclaimed Music Director, Rob Fisher, Kelli O'Hara will perform a collection of songs from Broadway and beyond.
"Kelli O'Hara is one of Broadway's greatest stars," said Virginia Arts Festival Perry Artistic Director Robert W. Cross. "Putting her front and center with Broadway's go-to music director, conductor and arranger Rob Fisher-a Norfolk native-and the city's own Virginia Symphony Orchestra makes this evening a must-see event."
One of Broadway's most prominent leading ladies, Kelli O'Hara is most widely known for her portrayal of Anna Leonowens in the 2015 revival of The King and I, which garnered her the 2015 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress. Her performance as Francesca in the musical adaptation of The Bridges of Madison County earned her Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle nominations. Additionally, she starred as Mrs. Darling in NBC's live telecast of "Peter Pan" alongside Allison Williams and Christian Borle, and on New Year's Eve 2016, Kelli made her Metropolitan Opera debut in the production of The Merry Widow with opera star Renee Fleming.
"The Main Event" will offer many ways to experience the wealth of the area's cultural offerings under one roof-and what an extraordinary roof it is! From the Friday evening opening of the Celebration for the Arts weekend, attendees will be treated to nonstop entertainment and amazement, with a full schedule of the Commonwealth's most spectacular performers. Virginia Opera, the Official Opera Company of the Commonwealth of Virginia, will be featured throughout the weekend. Other musical acts during the weekend include the Virginia Chorale, performing popular and jazz standards in Great American Song Book, I. Sherman Greene Chorale, a civic chorus based in Norfolk, Virginia since 1982, and additional performances by the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Instrumental musicians from The Governor's School for the Arts, a center for innovation that develops excellence, nurtures creativity, inspires artistic vision and builds communities with a passion for the arts, will perform as well.
The theatrical arts will be showcased by Virginia Stage Company as they present scenes from their production of The Wiz, a multiple Tony Award-winning musical adventure, adapted from L. Frank Baum's classic children's novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Norfolk's acclaimed children's theater The Hurrah Players will present scenes from the Disney's new Broadway version of ALADDIN. Virginia Musical Theatre brings their concert Cheek to Cheek: A Broadway Romance with actress and singer Tiffany Haas-a show that has toured across the country after debuting to sold-out crowds in New York.
Representing the art of dance, The TRDance and Virginia Ballet Theatre ensembles present an exciting mixed bill of modern dance, classical and contemporary ballet featuring original choreography and classical arrangements.
Galleries and exhibits will be open throughout the day, each displaying the best of the local community's visual arts including Chrysler Museum of Art, d'Art Center, Hermitage Museum & Gardens, Norfolk Botanical Garden, and Virginia MOCA.

https://de88.net/ mình thấy bạn bè nhắc nên cũng bấm vào xem thử cho biết thôi. Không có ngồi đọc kỹ hay làm gì nhiều, chủ yếu lướt qua xem giao diện ra sao. Cảm giác đầu tiên là trang nhìn khá sáng và thoáng, kiểu chia nội dung thành từng khối nên mắt dễ bắt, kéo xuống cũng không bị rối. Mình cũng để ý phần chữ và khoảng cách giữa các mục được canh khá ổn, nên nhìn nhanh vẫn biết mình đang ở đoạn nào. Thanh menu đặt chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển qua lại mượt, không phải tìm hoài. Nói chung lướt vài phút thôi mà thấy cách họ chia block và căn cột trên trang khá…
97j777 com showed up while I was scrolling a forum, so I opened it just out of curiosity to see what it looked like. I didn’t spend long on the actual content, but the page felt easy to get around without thinking too hard. The navigation is right there and I wasn’t hunting for where things were tucked away, which is always nice. What I noticed most is how everything’s spaced out and organized, so you can skim quickly instead of staring at one giant wall of stuff. It’s not trying to be flashy, just kind of clean and practical for casual browsing. The categories being grouped neatly and shown in simple, separate blocks is what made the layout feel…
Loved reading this article. It explained everything in a way that was easy to follow from start to finish. I've been using this reaction time test to check how consistently I respond during multiple attempts. The detailed results help me see whether I'm improving over time.
This site felt pretty chill to browse—no clutter, no walls of text, just the info you actually need. I like that the paragraphs are short enough that you can skim and still catch the main idea. I ended up clicking into Drift Boss while I was reading, and it loads fast and gets straight to the point with that one-button drifting thing, which is oddly satisfying. Nothing here feels like it’s trying too hard; it’s more like someone just organized it in a way that makes sense. The headings are easy to spot, and you don’t have to hunt around to figure out what the game is or how it works. The “How to Play” section is boxed off cleanly…
kèo nhà cái mình thấy nhắc hoài nên cũng bấm vào xem thử cho biết, kiểu tò mò thôi chứ không phải dân soi kèo gì đâu. Vào trang cái mình để ý nhất là bảng kèo bóng đá trực tuyến họ cập nhật theo từng trận trong ngày, nhìn khá dễ chịu, không bị nhồi chữ. Mấy cột sắp xếp thẳng hàng nên lướt nhanh vẫn nắm được, nhất là phần tách rõ “cả trận” với “hiệp 1” nên đỡ phải đoán. Mình cũng thích là các tỷ lệ kiểu 1x2 với tài xỉu nằm ngay trong bảng, nhìn một lượt là thấy hết chứ không phải mở nhiều tab. Nói chung giao diện đơn giản, số liệu đặt…
