River Concert Series Cancellation July 21st but...

The River Concert by the Chesapeake Orchestra, the Southern Maryland Community Gospel Choir, and Natii Wright was cancelled for today, July 21st due to rain. So sorry for the performers and the audience.

Don't forget you can still attend Sunday's Clazzical Jazz concert at 3 PM in St. Mary's Hall at the St. Mary's College of MD, led by Don Stapleson. They are excellent.

Help support the Chesapeake Orchestra (Much of the profits go to the orchestra). Buy a River Concert Series 2018 Poster. Photographed and designed by Joanna and Jim Macaulay.

New Official River Concert Series 2018 Poster

As a big fan of the River Concert Series and the official photographer for the last five years, Calm Reflections Photography and the Chesapeake Orchestra are pleased to offer a 2018 River Concert Poster for the 20^th Anniversary Season.  It is very similar to this year’s program cover using my “Old Boat” photo with an antique trumpet and baton belonging to Maestro Jeffrey Silberschlag.  Much of the proceeds will benefit the Chesapeake Orchestra.

The photo was taken at Wherritt’s Pond on a glorious calm autumn day at the St. Mary’s College of Maryland campus in 2010.  While the boat is no longer there, it has always made me think of St. Mary’s County and the rich history of boating and watermen.

Please tell your friends, especially if they are fans of the Chesapeake Orchestra or music lovers and please share.

Hits of the 40s with Music of the 1740s at the River Concert was Great
