About the Show
The color red represents power, strength, energy, and passion. According to singer Myra Smith, “a woman wearing red symbolizes her in her true essence – an empowered, strong, and passionate being.” In 2015, Smith combined her natural vocal talents with her passion for female empowerment to create an experience like no other – The Ladies in Red Concert and Award Show. For the past five years, the event has been a major success.
“I have always wanted to empower and unite women. As professional singers, we (as female artists) could be more unified. For women in general, there should be more sisterhood among us,” Smith says. The simple idea to unify the female singers of Hampton Roads for a concert has since evolved into the full-scale red carpet event held annually at Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center in Newport News. Featuring medleys of music from a variety of genres, the concert is interspersed with presentations highlighting the accomplishments of the honorees.
Words from the Myra
“ I want this show to continue to grow outside of our community. Every year, I celebrate women from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and I want to make every year more diverse, featuring a multicultural ensemble of performers and honorees.”
