Virginia Symphony Orchestra Jazz in East Beach

  

Our Virginia Symphony Orchestra Jazz concert on September 2 was fantastic! Unfortunately, Mother Nature cut us short but we still had a great evening! Even more delightful, VSO Executive Director, Eric Borenstein, a new East Beach resident was the evening’s emcee! We look forward to bringing the VSO Jazz back to East Beach soon!

Just another perk in East Beach! Check out other events going on in East Beach by clicking the link below http://eastbeachnorfolk.com/news/events.php

Hint of Fall

Today’s weather is simply perfect, fall is upon us and is gracing us this morning with a pleasantly cool refreshing breeze.

Ideal weather for the workers who are giving it their all on the 2012 Fall Homearama houses.

This year’s Homearama features 10 exquisite houses built by various builders.

Feature Homes:

• The Globe, The Charity House to benefit the Global Friendship House at Old Dominion University, constructed by Strickland Homes. The Global Friendship House will be a dormitory that will serve the needs of international students and promote world understanding.
• The EVMS Healthy House, The Charity House to benefit the Eastern Virginia Medical School Fund, which supports the school’s teaching, discovering and caring missions. The home is being constructed by L.R. Hill Custom Builders and will demonstrate to visitors how EVMS supports the health and wellbeing of the community.
• Hampton Roads Magazine’s “Coastal Idea House” by Stephen Alexander Homes, will host cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and other activities, as well as feature items available from Hampton Roads Magazine advertisers.
• The Norfolk House, built by Richardson Homes/Viridian Homes, will highlight the host city of Norfolk and its amenities
• The Sister City House, built by Definitive Homes, will highlight the host city’s relationship with their sister city of Norfolk, England.
• The Get Pink with Sentara House, built by ABT Custom Homes, will help to generate awareness of breast cancer prevention and survivorship.
• Simple Elegance, from The New Economy House Series, built by DeBord Custom Homes, will showcase a cottage designed by Marianne Cusato. The smaller home design will merge traditions of the past with the housing trends of today.

We are about a month away from the big opening day!!! So mark you calendars!

 

 

Rained out event, Out of the Box: Out on the Bay

This past weekend’s Out of the Box: Out on the Bay was canceled in advance, due to the storms headed our way.  Unfortunately the decision to cancel was last minute and many people did not get the message, including Paul Shugrue and a few of the other musicians.

With the rain not started and many people there, we had a very impromptu jam session. The music was great & Paul Shugrue even stayed to mingle and introduce the musicians to the crowd.

We were happy to hear that it was very well enjoyed and that everyone is looking forward to future Out of the Box: Out on the Bay shows.

We do apologize for any miscommunication about the event, updates and cancellations. But we invite you and do hope to see you at the next Out of the Box: Out on the Bay on August 25^th at 6pm.

Remember this fun event is open to the public, so invite your friends and family to join the festivities!
