Virginia Arts Festival’s Concert Truck to hold free concerts in Norfolk, Virginia Beach this week

It’s not often that you can listen to world-class pianists play classical music for free. This week, you’ve got a few opportunities to do just that.

Partnering with the Virginia Arts Festival, The Concert Truck will put on four free outdoor concerts in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Impassioned by their love for music and belief in its emotional power, pianists Nick Luby and Susan Zhang converted a 16-foot box truck into a mobile concert hall complete with lights, sound and a piano.

They’ve toured the countrysince 2016, putting on performances in city streets, music and arts festivals, schools, neighborhoods, parks and more. This week, Luby and Zhang will treat Hampton Roads residents to some much-needed entertainment under (hopefully) sunny skies.
