Performers joining the VSO and VSO Chorus include Teens With A Purpose, Todd Rosenlieb Adaptive Dance, Faith Leaders of Hampton Roads, Norfolk Street Choir, and Elbert Watson, Dance Master at Norfolk Academy, former dancer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and Artistic Director of the Elbert Watson Dance Company. Barbara Hamm-Lee who hosts “Another View” on WHRV-FM will serve as the emcee of the event and Mayor Kenny Alexander will be on hand for opening remarks.
