The Party of the Ages pairs older adults (“inspirations”) with some of our region’s best songwriting talent. After a “first meeting”, the artists create original songs based on their inspiration’s life, legacy, and personality. The songs are premiered live during the Party for the first time in front of the inspiration and their loved ones.

In other words, you do NOT miss the BEST celebration of the lives well-lived in Hampton Roads!

All proceeds will support arts outreach programs through ArtsConnect Virginia for your neighbors in isolating circumstances.
