Musical Commons: a weekly, collaborative musical performance at WTJU
By Nathan Moore
WTJU literally amplifies the music and arts of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia. Now we’re doing so in a new way: a weekly live music performance series called Musical Commons, Tuesdays 8 – 10 p.m. at the Stage at WTJU (2244 Ivy Road).
UPCOMING SHOWS:
- October 22: Side Hustle
- October 29: TBA
- November 5: Tina Hashemi Quintet
- November 12: University Vocal Jazz Ensemble
- November 19: UVA Songwriting Showcase
- November 26: No concert – holiday week
WTJU’s Musical Commons presents a weekly performance event for student ensembles, faculty groups, and community musicians. The weekly series encourages collaborations and music making across genres, levels, and generations. From small jazz combos to singer songwriters to chamber music to rock acts.
As WTJU launches into its next era of community media, this proposal formalizes a collaboration with the UVA Music Department that goes back decades. The Musical Commons also fills a much-noticed need for smaller-scale performance spaces near UVA Grounds.
While a few of these weekly performances may air live on the radio, they will all be open to a live, studio audience.
Join us at The Stage at WTJU, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. for Musical Commons!
