ichmond has often drawn comparisons to New York City for its appeal to artists. VCU, the cities epicenter for aspiring artists, stands as the first-ranked public university for art, according to U.S. News & World Report. However, if gallery displays are a bit too ‘quiet’ for you, a world of music, theater and dance are only a short walk from anywhere on campus. For music lovers, the W.E. Singleton Center at 922 Park Ave. will host a number of performances beginning in 2017. On Jan. 28, the center will welcome world-renowned violinist Anne Akiko Myers. Meyers, the 2014 Billboard top-selling classical instrumental soloist, will be performing pieces from her extensive library of original music, as part of the Mary Anne Rennolds Chamber Concert Series, which will run through the first half of 2017.
