The River Concert Series on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland is over for the summer, but the last concert was great fun for fans of George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein music. I am pleased to share some highlights of the concert for your enjoyment. The evening was blessed with warm sunshine, after 4 concerts with threatening rain. Jeffrey Silberschlag, music director of the Chesapeake Orchestra conducted some wonderful popular pieces, such as "Rhapsody in Blue", "An American in Paris" and Bernstein works from "On the Town" and "West Side Story".

River Concert Series July 14, 2023
Called "From Paris to Buenos Aires and Back", the concert featured musical works by Piazolla, Milhaud, and Poulenc. "An American in Paris" might be played next week, since a nasty thunderstorm ended the concert early. José Cueto, Concertmaster for the Chesapeake Orchestra, played some amazing violin solos during the concert for the enjoyment of the audience. The concerts are held on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland on Friday nights at 7 pm. There is only one concert left, with some blockbuster works by Bernstein and Gershwin and several soloists. Come out to enjoy it.

River Concert Series July 7, 2023
Friday’s River Concert July 7th, on the green at St. Mary’s College of Maryland featured the Chesapeake Orchestra and pianist Thomas Pandolfi. Mr. Pandolfi was a suggested permformer by Brian Ganz, our local talented pianist and resident artist from the College. Musical works included my favorite romantic work, Sergei Rachmaninov’s “Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini” and also Bach’s “Pastorale Symphony”, among others. Delightful. What talent and beautiful music!
Right before the concert, there was a rain shower and the resulting rainbow gave the Orchestra the encouragement to continue before the large crowd arrived.
