Every first Thursday of the month at noon, bring your lunch or enjoy free pizza provided by the Friends of the Staunton Library while you listen to live music.

Violinist David McCormick of Early Music Access Project performs music from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. McCormick's research has uncovered a rich fiddling tradition among Black fiddlers from the Hemings and Scott families. He was also founding artistic director of Charlottesville-based baroque ensemble Three Notch’d Road, and has performed with Washington Bach Consort, Mountainside Baroque, North Carolina Baroque Orchestra, and as featured guest artist for the Bach-Handel Festival at his alma mater, Shenandoah University. He is a 2017 recipient of Shenandoah Conservatory’s Rising Stars Alumni Award.
