Norfolk's Winter WIN: A Celebration of Music

 Norfolk’s enduring love affair with music finds a perfect expression at this year's Winter WIN, with a lineup of thrilling performances to warm up the winter chill. Whether you’re a fan of classical melodies or toe-tapping folk tunes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 

Start your Saturday, February 22, with a free concert at the Norfolk Library from 11 a.m. to 12 noon, featuring talented alumni from the Norfolk Festival and current Yale School of Music students. The ensemble—Michael Huerta (flute), Annie Winkelman (oboe), Nicole Martin (clarinet), Darius Farhoumand (bassoon), and Gretchen Berendt (horn)—will perform an enchanting program including Maurice Ravel's "Mother Goose Suite", Aram Khachaturian's "Masquerade Waltz", Malcolm Arnold's "Three Shanties", and Valerie Coleman's "Umoja". It’s an hour of musical brilliance you won't want to miss. 

The musical festivities continue at The Hub, at 2 Station Place, where Michael Cobb takes the stage from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Based in Norfolk and Brooklyn, N.Y., Cobb is a multi-talented artist who sings and plays a variety of instruments, including guitar, bass, harmonica, banjo, and ukulele. His unique eclectic Americana sound, blended with Spanish songs inspired by his wife, Martiña, promises a performance as diverse as it is engaging. 



To wrap up the day, stay at The Hub for a live performance by Seth Hagymasi from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Seth’s energetic mix of folk, bluegrass, and old-time country music, played on acoustic guitar and mandolin, is sure to get your feet tapping and your spirits soaring.
