Violinist Kevin Matheson and pianist Judith Clark preformed patriotic music from American composers, celebrating Independence Day. Â
Matheson and Clark brought Gershwin, Fats Waller, Copland and many others to Chatham. Their music blended traditional American folk, jazz and classical all in one for the community to enjoy.
Both musicians were glad to have performed in an in-door and in person concert, they said.
âIt feels so wonderful to play like this again,â said Clark.
âIâm honestly love playing hereâ¦thereâs something special about this church,â said Matheson.
Matheson and Clark collaborated on music planning for the concert. They met together many times looking over popular contemporary patriotic pieces as well as past Broadway pieces as well.

CHATHAM, Va. â Pittsylvania County Community Action (PCCA) is gearing up for its annual Community Action Awareness Day. We re excited about our annual community access day, said Executive Director Everlena Ross. We want this to be one of the biggest things to happen in Danville-Pittsylvania since COVID hit.
The event will be held at the Old Dutch Market parking lot on South Main Street lot this Friday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The event takes place every May during National Community Action Month, but this year, organizers say the impact will be greater than usual. The event represents a desire to open up and touch base with people who have been isolated for so long, said Annette Turner, event chair. Even though we will observe 6-foot social distancing and use personal protective equipment, we want to bring together our partners so the community knows why we re here and what were doing. It s a lot of safety people and a lot of community people coming together to t
