River Concert A Swingin Singin 4th

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.

River Concert Series Royal Treatment June 30, 2023

Friday’s River Concert on June 30th featured an eclectic combination of music by Copland, Duke Ellington, Prince, Queen, Elvis (the King), Michael Jackson and more.  Superman was the Fireworks musical work of the evening.  The concert began at 7 pm on the green at St. Mary’s College of Maryland with a few sprinkles here and there.  The crowd was huge, with the chance to see fireworks and the vendors filled the road nearby.

River Concert Series 2023 had a Great Start June 23, 2023

Despite the threat of rain, the River concert season started with a very talented guest singer, N'Kenge, a solo by Rick Humphries on saxophone and our own beloved Chesapeake Orchestra, led by Music Director Jeffrey Silberschlag.  The concerts are held on the green at St. Mary's College of Maryland for the next 5 Friday nights at 7 PM.  Do get there early, especially for Fireworks next week (weather permitting).  N'Kenge wowed us with her singing and her gorgeous gowns from New York City.  Music included songs from Divas from the sixties and seventies like Tina Turner, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, and Stephen Sondheim.  We especially enjoyed N'Kenge's medley version of "Proud Mary" and "Respect".
