Mathews VA250 Committee to Host Concert Celebrating
Virginia’s May 15, 1776 Independence from Great Britain

In preparation for Mathews County’s grand July 4th celebration, the Mathews
VA250 Committee invites residents, neighbors, and visitors to a special
concert on Friday, May 15, at Mathews High School.

Co-sponsored by the Mathews Museum, Mathews Historical Society, Sons of
the American Revolution, and Daughters of the American Revolution, this
event commemorates the 250th anniversary of Virginia’s declaration of
independence-the first colony to do so.

The Courthouse Community Orchestra, directed by Staff Sergeant Jarret
Kocan of the U.S. Air Force, will perform an engaging program of music
starting at 3:00 p.m. (Doors will open at 2:30 p.m.)

Admission is free. Join us for an afternoon of music and history as we
celebrate Virginia’s role in America’s fight for independence!
