The River Concert on July 10th was wonderful, starring the Chesapeake Orchestra with Music Director and trumpeter, Jeffrey Silberschlag, Jose Cueto on violin, Zachary Silberschlag on trumpet and Kathryn Farenish on piccolo. Jeffrey and Zachary played a lively piece, Vivaldi's "Trumpet Concerto for Two Trumpets". The baroque concert featured traditional classical music by Vivaldi, Handel and Bach. The concert ended with "Jazz Pizzicato" (a fairly recognizable piece with lots of plucked strings), by Leroy Anderson. Anderson was also composer of "Sleigh Ride", (often shared with the Chesapeake Orchestra in the past).
There was a strong rain storm between 5 and 6 pm between the sound check and the concert. Most of the musicians were off stage at the time and it cooled off the heat a little. I was glad we had some rain covers! Fortunately, much of the large crowd arrived after the rain and enjoyed the more pleasant temperature.
The concert on July 17th includes Debora Watts, a Brazilian singer/songwriter and her husband John Watts, pianist. (subject to change). The free River Concert is held on the Townhouse Green at St. Mary's College of Maryland at 7 pm.
Enjoy my photos and please share with your music loving friends.
