The Chatham Concert Series will close the season this Sunday afternoon, February 28 at 3:00, with a beautiful program of Romantic music and song. The concert venue is Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Chatham.
Featuring a quintet of some of Virginia’s finest musicians and a world-renowned tenor, this chamber music concert will be a real treat.
One of the best-loved chamber music compositions, Czech Romantic Composer Antonin Dvorak’s Quintet for Piano and Strings, will carry the weight of half the program.
Anchored by the piano of Judith Clark, Martin Irving and Kevin Matheson will play violin in the quintet, Bryan Matheson the viola, and Julia Goudimova the cello.
In a fortunate addition to the program, and balancing the instruments of the Dvorak quintet, famed tenor Robert Chafin will perform songs by the modern-era English Composer Ralph Vaughan Williams as well as French Romantic Composer, Ernest Chausson.
Chatham violin student Staley Lyle has been invited to play one piece, Jean-Baptiste Accolay’s Concerto in A minor.
Chatham First will host a post-concert reception allowing musicians and concert goers to visit in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The concert will be held at Emmanuel, 66 N. Main Street in Chatham. Admission is by donation for the musicians.
