There was quite a crowd for the River Concert Series second concert at 7pm on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland, not surprising considering that it was performed on July 4th. Fireworks were included at the end. We enjoyed seeing Sara Jones again, former alumna of St. Mary's College of Maryland perform lots of great jazz favorites in a very sparkly dress (that I envied). They played some Duke Ellington music and old favorites like "Tea for Two" and "A Time for Love". I especially liked how she encouraged and praised her accompanists quite a bit and had nice things to say about our favorite nearby college. I was happy to see Zachary Silberschlag back home from Israel, safe and sound, performing with his Dad, music director, Jeffrey Silberschlag on the trumpet and conducting.
Please join me and the Chesapeake Orchestra for the next three Friday night concerts at 7pm. Next week is "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with José Cueto on violín, weather permitting.
