31 non-profit organizations were selected to receive grant funding from Norfolk Arts in fiscal year 2021. These organizations continue to increase the availability and awareness of artistic and cultural experiences for the benefit of the citizens of Norfolk, VA.
Here’s what some of them have been up to throughout the holiday season:
Available to stream through Jan 5

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”

Watch their annual Holiday show for this year available through Dec. 31st
ODU F. LUDWIG DIEHN SCHOOL OF MUSIC
A Virtual Concert of Sacred Music featuring the ODU Concert Choir and Diehn Chorale
This concert features the singers wearing masks, each physically distanced by six feet, and only 48 singers allowed at a time (you will see singers rotating in and out since there were more than 50 musicians). An orchestra was not possible due to space and numbers, and there was no audience, but this is a glorious performance by these students! Twenty members of the choir are first-time students with them, so the learning curve was steep – all the more reason to work toward this goal.
Hear the Jazz Choir sing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”
LITTLE THEATRE NORFOLK presents
