Spring of 2009 will see the beginnings of a new cultural
event in our town. The Chatham Concert
Series, directed by new Chatham Hall choirmaster Kevin Zakresky in
collaboration with Emmanuel Episcopal Church, will bring professional musicians
to the area for four entertaining recitals of classical music.
Intended mainly as a new venue for art music in Pittsylvania County, the Chatham Concert Series will also serve as a stage for the young emerging artists of our town. Each concert will include “opening act” performances by young people from Chatham, followed by a “headlining act” professional musician from out of town.
The concerts will be held at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Main Street in Chatham, with the finale concert being staged in St. Mary’s Chapel at Chatham Hall. Admission is by donation.
