Friday’s River Concert at St. Marys College of Maryland included such favorites as Vivaldi’s Spring from “the Four Seasons” and “Summertime” sung by Queen Shic with an incredibly high voice. Her husband, Dontae Winslow, stole the show on his trumpet, with a wonderful rendition of “Stardust” and his own song “Trumpet and a Mic” and many others. He conducted the Chesapeake Orchestra very enthusiastically several times during the performance. Mr. Winslow’s accomplishments include composing, trumpet (musician) and orchestrator. He was involved in several Superbowl half-time shows and the 2022 Oscars. He came a long way from being Jeff’s trumpet student at the age of 13.
But, there was more. Jose Cueto first violinist (concertmaster) performed several times, partly with Sheng Wang. Zach and Jeffrey Silberschlag did several trumpet pieces, partly with Dontae Winslow. With so many soloists, there were a lot of photos!
