El Paso's Virtuoso's Award Ceremony
For two decades, Virtuoso Productions LLC has believed in one simple truth: “If you believe, you can build. And when you build with heart, you bless generations.” Founded in 2009 (after its roots in community theatre circa 2006), Virtuoso Productions grew from small stages and neighborhood shows into a multimedia powerhouse — producing films, festivals, educational programs, and faith-based experiences that have transformed the El Paso creative landscape. Now, on the milestone year leading to The Believe Impact Awards stand as the culmination of that dream — honoring those who embody the Virtuoso spirit through their art, service, and belief in others.
