Panoff has had a 25-year career as a music teacher and arts administrator and has lived and worked in cities that have grappled with the same questions Richmond faces today. Just as Richmond is poised to make new commitments to the center city's performing arts venues, this timely program explores hard questions and questions assumptions. The same ingredients that Atlanta used to spark its economic revitalization in recent years are abundantly present in cities around the United States and around the globe. Young, who served three terms in Congress during the 1970s, had said he has found himself increasingly drawn more toward business than electoral politics in recent decades. This lecture is co-sponsored by the Jepson School, the Office of the President and the Office of the Chaplaincy, as part of the University's Founder's Week events.
