Blending powerful storytelling with music from the civil rights era of the 1950s and 1960s, A Loving Community also features excerpts from the highly anticipated new opera, Loving v. Virginia, premiering in April/May 2025 as a co-commission with the Richmond Symphony. This 60-minute program is performed by Virginia Opera’s talented Herndon Foundation Emerging Artists and the Richmond Symphony Principal Quartet.  It will conclude with a brief Q&A session.

Designed for audiences aged 15 and older, A Loving Community offers a poignant and enriching exploration of history, music, and social change, making it an ideal program for junior high students through adults.
