Imagine 30+ musicians filling the Concert Hall with a wall of brass that is precise, powerful and deeply alive. From the Welsh Valleys town of Ton Pentre, the Cory Band is the most decorated brass band on the planet and delivers the kind of night you won't forget.

Based on the electrifying novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the musical follows Patrick Bateman, a young and handsome Wall Street banker whose life revolves around designer labels, exclusive restaurants and relentless ambition. Beneath his polished exterior, however, lurks a far darker reality — and the carefully constructed mask he presents to the world is beginning to crack. Check website for times and details.

The Charlottesville Jazz Society and WTJU present Paul Giess and Untethered, Friday October 30th at 7:30 pm at Visible Records.
Untethered, a collective formed by trumpeter Paul Giess in the summer of 2024, plays what the drummer Grant Calvin Weston dubs spontaneous creative composition. Their album “Grasping for the Moon” received critical acclaim and was featured as album of the day on Bandcamp last year, which wrote "the music is in constant flux, opening up and tightening, cooling down and catching fire, riding stasis and exploding with hyperactive motion."
Through inventive and unpredictable improvisation, the group displays musical personalities that have range and depth, holding a deep pocketed funk next to chamber music style sound design. Intricate, profound and otherworldly, the ensemble’s inventive nature allows each performance to be a one-of-a-kind experience to resonate with their audiences. For this performance, Paul will be joined by drummer G. Calvin Weston and bassist Timothy Ragsdale.
Join the Dance Ensemble for an unforgettable program of movement, artistry and innovation. Showcasing a dynamic range of styles from contemporary to street, this captivating performance highlights the versatility, athleticism and expressive power of Shenandoah’s talented dancers. The program features original works by faculty choreographers Angela Dice Nguyen, Ben Howard and Katherine Zukeri, alongside a special guest work by Ali Koinoglou that sparks the imagination. Check website for times and details.
