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.

Clazzical Jazz Tributary Concert July 22, 2017

I just posted photos of the Clazzical concert on July 22, starring Don Stapleson on Flute, Fred Lieder on Cello, Peter Fields on Guitar, and Jennifer Cooper, singer on my Facebook site.    The concert was part of the final weekend of the River Concert series.  To quote Don Stapleson's Clazzical Project business card, "Where classical meets Jazz in delightfully unexpected ways"  I liked that.  They were wonderful and fun.

River Concert July 7, 2017 Choral Music

Larry Vote was the guest conductor at the River Concert at St. Mary's College of Maryland on Friday, July 7th on the Townhouse Green.  Larry's daughter, Olivia, was the special soloist, a former choir member and fellow soprano in my church choir.  Since then, she has performed in many operas around the country and fairly recently in Switzerland.  The RCS choir (including several friends) and the Chesapeake Orchestra performed "Gloria" by Vivaldi and Mahler's "Songs of the Wayfarer".  Olivia also sang some of her favorites and mine "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
