2025 Festival of Concerts

An alien arrives in 1957 for a bit of sightseeing of the Civil War. Having missed that one, he decides to start another. He's fascinated by all the new toys the 20th century has invented for making war and wants to play with them, and the General and the Newscaster are happy to oblige. Once a movie starring Jerry Lewis, this play by Gore Vidal is a comedic reminder of the human condition in the vein of My Favorite Martian, Alf, and 3rd Rock From the Sun.

This play is presented as part of Oak Grove Theater's 2025 season. Tickets must be purchased for the entire season - no individual tickets are sold. Season tickets are $60 for all 5 shows. Find more information at oakgrovetheater.org and purchase tickets here.

Oak Grove Theater is a community theater group that performs an annual five-play summer season. The plays are performed at night, out-of-doors, at beautiful Oak Grove just outside of Verona. Please feel free to come picnic at the Oak Grove before the sun sets and the play begins.

Celebrate the holiday with some fine fiddling and other music fit for the Glorious Fourth! Our Heifetz musicians head over the mountain to Charlottesville for a free, patriotic picnic concert at the historic home of James Monroe, the nation’s fifth president, and last of the Virginia Founding Fathers.

The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU present an evening with master percussionists Tim Daisy and Scott Clark

The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU are pleased to present a unique evening of percussion at Visible Records on Tuesday July 8th at 7:30 pm. For the past several years, Visible Records, a gallery space at 1740 Broadway Street, has been home to improvisational and experimental music across all genres.

Although Tim Daisy and Scott Clark are in the process of recording an album together, this will be their first concert as a duo.
Tim Daisy is a Chicago-based drummer, composer, and educator renowned for his contributions to both improvised and composed music. Since landing in Chicago in 1997, he has actively engaged with the city’s vibrant creative music scene, performing, recording, and touring with numerous esteemed musicians and ensembles. Beyond performance and recording, Daisy has composed original pieces for modern dance, sound installations, documentary films, and podcasts, showcasing his versatility as an artist.

Drummer and composer Scott Clark is at the center of the Richmond VA improvised music scene, and is making a name for himself through his “striking musical maturity, evident in his patience and precision.” He has curated dozens of concerts that match local musicians on bills with internationally recognized touring artists, and is co-curator of music for Out Of Your Head Records.
Clark’s work is focused on the arc of composition through improvisation and sonic story-telling. His exceptional playing and compositional method can be heard on his widely-acclaimed releases, the solo drum album This Darkness (2021) and his ScottClark4tet albums ToNow (2018) and Bury My Heart (2016) on Clean Feed Records.

This is a four-week class taking place 6:30-8:30pm on Wednesdays July 9-30. This course, taught by Samar Farah Fitzgerald, is an introduction to writing fiction. Each week, we devote ourselves to a different craft topic. We’ll examine several short stories with an eye for how authors control elements such as point of view, character development, and world-building. Students will have time to practice new skills and share their work in class. All experience levels are welcome.

Comedy. Tragedy. Chemistry.

Spanning three decades and stitched together by scars both physical and emotional, Gruesome Playground Injuries traces the unpredictable connection between two people who keep crashing into each other at their most vulnerable moments. Rajiv Joseph’s script is sharp, strange, and deeply human — exploring how we hurt, how we heal, and how sometimes, the two are inseparable.

The one night we reserve for our outstanding piano faculty pianists to display their keyboard wizardry in an evening of multi-handed piano pyrotechnics.
