Roanoke Ballet Theatre

  •  Roanoke Ballet Theatre is dedicated to increasing the public appreciation of dance in its variety of forms while serving the needs of the community through education, outreach and performance. We are entering our 39th season and have just completed our 11th year under the direction of Sandra Meythaler. In the past 11 years Roanoke Ballet has introduced a pre-professional company for the school, a professional company to represent the ballet, and have increased our performances to include not only mainstage performances at the Jefferson Center, but also touring performances in surrounding cities, a student showcase, and intimate Black Box performances at our Grandin Road studios. These are financially accessible to any interested person. RBT is dedicated to collaborating with other arts agencies in Roanoke, as well as providing outreach to schools, retirement and nursing home communities, hospitals, and other institutions to share the joy that is dance.

The Roanoke Symphony Orchestra

  • Another of the organizations that became part of Center in the Square later in their existence, the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra provides music that absorbs you into another place and often another time. RSO is known for traveling in the area exposing the community at large to music that ranges from classical orchestra pieces to classic rock done by an orchestra. Utilizing their potential to reach a greater audience, they can perform at large venues such as the Salem Civic Center or smaller, more intimate settings such as the Taubman Museum.
