Mosaic Steel Orchestra

Mosaic Steel Orchestra is an ensemble of energetic gifted youth and young adults from the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach, VA. Their inaugural performances during the month of July 2007 generated immense interest resulting in local television appearances.

The term mosaic is the underlying concept of the ensemble as the group is represented by a variety ages, races, populations and musical styles. The ensemble's repertoire truly demonstrates the versatility of the steel drum art form. Mosaic Steel Orchestra's set list includes the Soca and Calypso styles generally associated with the instrument, but also comprises works by Beethoven, Stevie Wonder, The Eagles, Earth Wind and Fire, and many more.

Immediately following their debut performance in July 2007, Mosaic Steel Orchestra's first summer season was completely booked with engagements throughout the region including performances at the Virginia Beach Town Center and the Surry County African American Family Reunion. While only in its first year, the group has been invited to Steel Band festivals and workshops in Brentwood, MD and James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. As the word spreads about this captivating ensemble you can expect many more regional, national and international performances.

Calendar Girls of Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay

The “Calendar Girls of Westminister-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay,” are six ladies, ages 73 to 84 years of age – and are all residents of Westminister-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay, a retirement community in Virginia Beach. Inspired by the film, “Calendar Girls,” starring Helen Mirren, these six fun, funny and crazy ladies came up with the idea to create a photo calendar to raise funds for the Westminister-Canterbury Foundation which provides the means to assist senior adults who couldn't otherwise afford to live at Westminister-Canterbury.

The Girls -- and their calendars -- will be at Rock 'n Roar!
