River Concert Series Super Celebration with Fireworks July 5, 2019

Rousing music from the Chesapeake Orchestra and Fireworks  always bring out a crowd.

We enjoyed lots of Science Fiction and Fantasy music, along with a few patriotic Marches at St. Mary's College or Maryland.  I have never heard music from "Wonder Woman" or a medley from Star Trek before.  Wonderful!  And of course, the Chesapeake Orchestra played a portion of the traditional "1812 Overture" with fireworks.  The crowd reached into the back patio by Daugherty-Palmer Commons, so it was quite a large event, given the weather was cooperative.  You sure know how to put on a grand show for the River Concert Series!

Clazzical Jazz Concert July 22, 2018


Clazzical Jazz performed at St. Mary's Hall at St. Mary's College of MD on Sunday at 3 PM as an extra concert for the River Concert Series. The group jazzes up classical pieces into a more modern style. Don Stapleson shared that he had been texting or e-mailing with such famous composers as Ravel and Chopin to discuss their performance. What fun. Some of the pieces played included "I’m Always Chasing Rainbows" by Harry Carroll and Joseph McCarthy and "Reverie" by Claude Debussy. Clazzical Jazz also invited Dr. Mark Runkles and Robert Hayes to perform. Runkles was invited onto the stage after his cell phone went off in the middle of the performance and he was "forced" to play the oboe, rather badly at first.

Here are a few fun photos.
