River Concert Premier's "Kid's" and Plays Works by Strauss

The River Concert at St.Mary's College of MD on Friday, July 17th featured Richard Strauss's "Don Juan" & "The Rosenkavalier Suite", both very dramatic pieces.  The concert also premiered William Thomas Mckinley's work "Kids", symphonic variations created for the Chesapeake Orchestra and the Maryland Youth Symphony.  Some of the variations included musical descriptions of  toys, cookies, sand, and video games.

The River Concert Series Starts Friday June 21st

The River Concerts at St. Mary's College of Maryland start June 21st at 7 P.M. and continue every Friday night through July 26th. This week's concert is called "Night in Vienna or "Hornaopia""featuring Strauss and Haydn among other works.

The concerts are great fun for everyone, and feature wonderful music by the Chesapeake Orchestra, delicious food and a variety of other local vendors with jewelry, puppets, etc. You can also bring your own picnic if you like. There are even separate sections for serious listeners through serious socializing. They will still be asking for donations this year, so give what you can to help support the concerts.

I'm including a few photos of past concerts.

Jim and I will be cheering them on as usual and have volunteered our photography services to the orchestra.

I hope to see you there!
