Norfolk, Va

If you've been eagerly awaiting the Virginia Arts Festival but can't decide which events to attend, let us help you out a bit. Throughout the month, we'll be giving away tickets to some of the most anticipated events that the Virginia Arts Festival is bringing this year. From today's giveaway, one lucky winner will receive a pair of tickets to Igudesman & Joo, A Little Nightmare Music to be held Thursday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk. The phrases "classical music" and "doubled over laughing" were seldom heard in the same sentence before these musicians with wildly funny performances entered the spotlight. DONT MISS OUT!
