About this Event
Step through the gates of the Violet Crown and into a world of Pure Imagination! Join MIMA Music on Saturday, May 9th from 3 - 6 pm for a musical screening of the 1971 classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Before and after the movie, songs from the film’s classic soundtrack will be performed live by The Chocolate Dreams, led by Charlottesville’s own bluesman Eli Cook. Dust off your purple velvet, leiderhosen, or cowboy gear, and come dressed as your favorite Wonka character! Your favorite costumes will receive a musical prize.
Pure Imagination celebrates MIMA's 25 years of work enriching communities through music education. All ticket proceeds and additional donation support MIMA programming in central Virginia. Learn more about MIMA’s mission and work at mimamusic.org.
