05/07/2025 to 05/07/2025

Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center (located on NOVA's Alexandria Campus) with her mesmerizing new musical presentation, The Story of a Rose: A Musical Reverie on The Great War. In a unique mix of beautiful song and brilliant speech, Melissa relates the story of the too-often-overlooked epoch of World War I, in all its many-sided American complexity. Produced by The Doughboy Foundation to benefit the National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C., the show is also presented by the Gary Sinise Foundation. Under the musical direction of jazz pianist Tedd Firth and his big-band period ensemble, and joined by Broadway’s George Abud, Melissa performs wartime tunes of patriotism and protest, loss and longing. The Story of a Rose will make the stage ring with history—and with hope. For tickets and more information, visit https://doughboy.org/event/the-story-of-a-rose-melissa-errico/
