The weather held. The deliveries arrived. The dance
floor was assembled. By the time the guests arrived for
the 2018 President’s Gala on Oct. 19, the Grove had
been transformed into a sparkling, romantic setting for
dining and dancing.
This year’s Gala highlighted the 50th Anniversary
of the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. Proceeds
from the University’s black-tie fundraiser will go to
support students and programs in the fine arts in
Pamplin College. The concert featured renowned
guest conductor Dr. Andre Thomas, with spotlight
performances by our own Martin David Jones and
Wycliffe Gordon.
To all those who attended and donated: Thanks for
your support!
