Thomas Wilkins will soon return to his roots. The Norfolk native is coming home to serve as the primary guest conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Wilkins calls his return poetic, in that he’ll be leading the orchestra that first introduced him to his life’s work…. and he shared with our Lisa Godley how the opportunities he experienced right here in Hampton Roads shaped his life. His first appearance with the Virginia Symphony Orchestra in his new role will be February 18th through the 20th of 2022.
