Traditional Music and Dance Performances
Traditional Music and Dance Performances
Dance and music performances from an array of cultures are a customary offering at the Charlottesville Festival of Cultures. A trio of videos offers a small glimpse into our usual day-long program, a reminder that a wide range of international dance and music is alive and thriving in Charlottesville.
Chicho's inspiration: "The coloring pages represent how similar humans are, depicting people from different cultures playing their own music, some ceremonially, some just as entertainment. I’ve always considered the Festival of Cultures to be an opportunity to do what I think we all should do: to get along, share, and learn to value differences."

PVCC Instructor of Japanese and Japan Club Advisor, Noriko Donahue, shares: "My Japanese students and I composed a class theme song, “Room 174,” which is our classroom number. The students wrote the lyrics in English and I wrote the Japanese lyrics accordingly. Then, one student and I composed the music to the lyrics, and five of us performed it together.
