Dave Eggar vs. Dave Shenton

November 8, 2026
2:00 pm
Cantrell Hall Banquet Room
Dave & Dave: The Battle of the Daves is a genre-bending musical performance that combines refined virtuosity with sharp, understated humor, inspired by the late Victor Borge. The two performers, Dave Shenton (piano/violin) and Dave Eggar (cello/piano), engage in a dynamic musical exchange, each pushing the other to greater heights of creativity and skill, resulting in a hilarious, virtuosic & original concert experience. At the end of each performance the audience ultimately crowns a winner, following an evening of breathtaking musicianship, clever comedy, and a Star Wars inspired duel. ​Cellist and five-time Grammy-nominated composer Dave Eggar has appeared as a featured solo performer at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Barbican Center London, the Sydney Opera House, Aspen Music Festival, Lincoln Center and more. His mission to “not just cross over, but to cross through” multiple genres of music is apparent with all of his releases. Whether it’s classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music, he finds a common voice within his musical vocabulary and introduces it with his own unique and imaginative vision. ​Dave Shenton is a violinist, pianist, composer, arranger, and producer whose artistry transcends genres and boundaries. With a rare versatility and unmatched musicianship, he brings passion, precision, and creativity to every performance and project. Whether on stage, in the studio, or behind the score, David’s work reflects a mastery that has captivated audiences and collaborators around the globe.

Areas: forestry, visitor service, invasive species management, archaeology, GIS, and more.

Along with participating in the 5K, attendees are asked to contribute food donations to help support families in need. At least one donation item is required to register in the 5k. Scan the QR to access specific donation lists and the 5k course map. We encourage everyone in the UVA Wise community to get involved and help spread the word. Every participant and every donation brings us one step closer to making a positive impact. Let’s come together, move with purpose, and help fight hunger in Appalachia. We hope to see you there!
