Westie Playing Piano Photo for Sale

Here's another favorite in my current Lexington Park Exhibit.  I call it Unleashed Melody or Westie Playing Piano, depending on my mood.  It took a lot of patience to take the photo.  It won a humor contest at the St. Mary's County Camera Club.

The Last River Concert of the Summer

The concert on Friday, July 22nd featured Mambo, Salsa, Miles Davis and more.  The evening was quite warm and I was pretty busy. I even visited the stage to share my framed signed photo of Jeffrey Silberschlag with the crowd and sat at the Chesapeake Orchestra's booth during intermission to sell my donated photo of the music director for the orchestra.

River concert 5: July 15, 2016 A Civilization Lost

The River concert on Friday at St. Mary's College of MD included the Chesapeake Orchestra and featured Henrik Naimark-Meyers.  The young Swedish-American violin soloist was superb, as were the Orchestra's soloists.  Maestro Jeffrey Silberschlag was enthusiastic as usual and wore his off white suit jacket on a very warm evening.
Friday at 7pm is the last River Concert this season.

River Concert: Mass in Blue July 8, 2016


Larry Vote was guest conductor for the yearly choral concert at St.Mary's College of Maryland on the green.  The concert featured Lena Siekely, mezzo-soprano and the RCS chorus of mostly students and alumni.  A current student, Joey Haavik sang a duet with Ms. Siekely.

The crowd patiently endured several rain showers before and during the concert, and the sun even set beautifully.
