Dr. Mark Whitmire (AL Campus) will conduct two upcoming performances with the Washington Metropolitan Philharmonic Orchestra and NOVA Community Chorus.  The concerts will include Requiem, a new work by Washington composer Paul Leavitt.

The 60-piece orchestra and 80-voice chorus will be joined by four professional vocal soloists:  Lisa Edwards Burrs (soprano), Grace Gori (mezzo-soprano), Patrick Cook (tenor), and Aurelius Gori (baritone).  Cecelia Porter, contributing critic for The Washington Post wrote, “Paul Leavitt’s Requiem…should belong in every chorus’s repertoire…deeply expressive and skillfully written…steeped in rich contrapuntal texture…ethereal serenity.”

Also on the program is the Cello Concerto of Samuel Barber with cellist Steven Framil.

On Monday, March 16^th the Student Life Office brought Galen Abdur-Razzaq to the Alexandria campus for a lecture on a History of Women in Jazz and a performance of Notes at Noon.  Galen is a talented flutist from Montclair, New Jersey who has performed both domestically and internationally for over thirty years. 

He is also an arranger, composer, director, educator, and writer.  Galen’s interactive lecture highlighted the significant contribution of women in jazz.  Women highlighted included Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Mary Lou Williams and Anita O’Day.

Staff and students were encouraged to participate and were given the opportunity to win jazz CDs for their participation.

After the lecture, staff and students were invited to stay for a performance with local jazz musicians Amy Shook and Frank Russo.  Amy plays the upright bass and plays in a Trio with Frank who plays the drums.  Together with Galan they played a number of jazz classics.

State Senator Adam Ebbin came to the Alexandria campus to talk to Professor David Miller’s Cultural Geography (Geo 210) class on Thursday, March 19.

His district borders the Potomac River from National Airport to Mount Vernon and includes part of NOVA’s Alexandria campus. He spoke to students about gerrymandering, the Virginia Senate, and his bills in the recent legislative session.
