eptember 26th kicked off the Throughout WHRO’s 53 year history, PBS Arts Fall Festival on TV-15 we have always supported the arts. From with eleven weekly programs performances by the Virginia Symphony S featuring classic Broadway hits, and Virginia Opera on WHRO 90.3FM, to music from around the country, and a shows like Live From Lincoln Center and front row seat at the theater. This season Great Performances on TV-15 – the Arts promises to be memorable, with hits like are a big part of who we are. Sweeney Todd, Porgy and Bess, The Nance, and many more. Art encompasses much more than symphonies, theater, musicals and operas. No matter where you turn, people are creating art, often in ways we never expected. Right here in Hampton Roads, there are sculptors, poets, photographers, musicians, painters, and the list goes on. The cover of this month’s guide features a painting from local artist Kim Keene, who just painted a mural for the ODU Athletics Department. Learn more on page 10 about her work.

To draw attention to our local emerging artists, like Kim, WHRO has launched a new initiative called The Scene. Visit whro.org/TheScene to view profiles and discover artistic work created here in our community that otherwise you might not know about. WHRO is bringing them into the spotlight with webisodes you can watch online and share.

Pablo Picasso once said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” So whether you’re in the mood for more traditional fine art, or interested in exploring what re-defines art, WHRO offers something for everyone who appreciates the expression of human creativity.

PBS Arts Festival is sponsored by Virginia Symphony Orchestra

During his academic career, he authored or co-authored over 150 chapters and papers in peer reviewed journals, and made over 200 presentations at conferences and medical centers around the world. He thought he knew how the brain, mind and consciousness worked. That was until a transcendental near-death experience, in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection, changed all of that. On the seventh day, to the surprise of everyone, he started to awaken. Memories of his life had been completely deleted inside of coma, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of superphysical existence. There he claims to have met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself. Alexander has been blessed with a complete recovery, and has written a book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear his story.
