MATTHEW WEAVER
&
F R I E N D S
”A Holiday Show”
This remarkable local musician has made it to the
'Big
Time' in Nashville this past year by auditioning & taking the
stage at the Grand Ole Opry, fulfilling his boyhood dream.
Matthew plays 19 instruments, but cannot read the music for the
piano. He uses ‘musical physics’ to adapt the tunes he hears.
With his awe-inspiring talent, he has not only led but inspired
his church choir for 11 years and released 9 CD’s. He has
been featured with with David Holt, Randy (sister Dolly) Parton.
He also premiered in a bluegrass off-Broadway show, “Smoke On
the Mountain.”
We have no doubt
that one day your children will be able to tell THEIR children
the first time that they saw Matthew Weaver here locally, before
he rose to national acclaim!

an excerpt:
--------
"Huck Finn,"
with script and lyrics by Catawba
professor Arnold Colbath, set to
music by Billy Burke.
The first version of
the work was produced by Catawba's Blue Masque in 1954, when Billy
had written melodies to go with the Colbath lyrics, and Catawba grad
Patricia Glass filled in the chords. She and Billy performed the
two-piano accompaniment version for this original production.
When the work was
brought back by Catawba four years later, songs were added, and the
work orchestrated for a 10-piece instrumental ensemble, directed by
George Wilson.
