The Blue Ridge Concert Series resumes Monday, March 22, with an 8 p.m. performance by pianist Christine Niehaus in the Patton Building auditorium. A faculty member at the College of William and Mary, Ms. Niehaus has an impressive performance resume, including performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Smithsonian Institution, the White House and the Kennedy Center. Her program will combine selections by classical masters Mozart, Chopin and Debussy with those by notable American composers, such as Copland, Gershwin and Stephen Foster. This week's campus cultural activity, of course, is Thursday's seventh annual Celebration of Women in the Arts. The visual art exhibition is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the multipurpose rooms off the downstairs foyer of Patton Building and includes works from bead weaving and handpainted clothing to etched glass and pastel landscapes.
Admission is free.
