Prism Gala Dinner and Silent Auction set for March 1 at UVa-Wise
The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Department of Visual and Performing Arts will hold the third annual Prism Gala Dinner and Silent Auction concert on Saturday, March 1, in the Fred B. Greear gymnasium beginning at 6 p.m.
The evening celebrates the work of the department's divisions of art, music and theatre and benefits arts programming and scholarships at the College.
Like the multitude of colors emanating from a crystal prism, the musical "Prism" concert stages a multitude of sounds and instrumental works in immediate succession from every possible angle of the venue. As a brass quartet finishes a tune in one corner of the hall, the Concert Choir breaks into song from the opposite side of the room; at the moment they finish attention shifts to the Concert Band in the center of the room already into the first bars of a concert march.
The event will feature every musical ensemble at the college as well as solo, duet, trio and quartet performances by UVa-Wise faculty and students. Emphasis will be on popular, jazz and lighter concert fare along with a few classical standards.
Works of art from UVa-Wise faculty and students will be featured and available for purchase through silent auction. The Division of Theatre will provide the lighting and other technical assistance.
Tickets for the event are $50 per person and may be purchased by calling David Volk, assistant professor of music, at (276) 328-0271.
