Crispus Attucks Cultural Center

The Crispus Attucks Cultural Center (CACC) present Hampton Roads’ only full season exclusively dedicated to multicultural performing arts and the humanities, engaging in music, theater, comedy, film, family, and literary programs. The Attucks Theatre is a glorious home for CACC’s diverse programs. Our performing arts series focuses on local and national artists presenting high quality contemporary work that is seldom seen in our region. The work we present showcases artists who are emerging or under-recognized, who create innovative and distinctive work in contemporary and multidisciplinary genres (theater, dance, music, film), and who represent the extraordinary breadth of Black and multi-ethnic culture.

The I. Sherman Greene Chorale, Inc.

The I. Sherman Greene Chorale, Inc., a semi-professional choral ensemble, was founded in 1972 by Isaac Sherman Greene, Choir Director at Norfolk’s Booker T. Washington High School following a performance of Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” for the Annual Negro History Week celebration. The performance was so successful that Mr. Greene asked the singers to continue as a permanent choir. Now in its 43rd season, the Chorale is in demand for concerts throughout Hampton Roads and beyond. The Chorale provides the community with a wealth of aesthetic and diverse musical experiences through its performance of music of the great masters, Negro Spirituals, and other genres.

Norfolk Chamber Consort

The mission of the Norfolk Chamber Consort is to present to the public performances of chamber music drawn from repertories of the 17th up to the 21st centuries. The emphasis is on works with varied instrumentation and those utilizing the voice as an integral part of the chamber music texture. Emphasis is often placed on lesser known works and neglected masterpieces that are not often performed in Southeastern Virginia.
