Woodlawn Concert July 18th, 2015: And The Boat Went By

The Chesapeake Orchestra Fellows, a talented group of young people directed by Jeffrey Silberschlag, performed outside on the Woodlawn Farm lawn last Saturday by the creek.  

Sometimes outdoor concerts contend with unusual local events, noise, children, weather, etc.  During this concert, a neighbor was running little tours of the creek, right past the location of the concert.  Many Times!!!  Jeffrey Silberschlag just took the interruptions in stride with a little bit of humor.   At least that's what we saw on his face!

Several of the young performers had solos;

Joey Lavarias on bassoon

Zachary Silberschlag on Trumpet

And the boat went by....

Alan Morris? On oboe

Milad Daniara on Bass

And the boat went by...

Others in the Chesapeake Orchestra Fellows included Olenka Dolak on cello

Mike Eby and Victoria Wolf Lewis on violin

And the boat went by...

Favorite Photos from the Woodlawn Farm Concert Saturday July 11th

Last week's Woodlawn Concert was held outside.  The performers were the Chesapeake Orchestra Fellows, a talented group of young people.  They played some music from Italy and France.  Some works played included "Girl with the Flaxen Hair" by Debussy and "Trumpeter's Lullaby" by Leroy Anderson.

Romantic Night Out at the Woodlawn Farm on July 20th

We went to Woodlawn Farm last Saturday July 20th to see the talented pianist, Brian Ganz representing the Chesapeake Orchestra.  He is so incredibly talented that he performed for about two hours with no sheet music. 

We expected rain and got a tiny bit, just enough to make a beautiful double rainbow over the Trinity Manor house.  Maggie O'Brien, owner and former St. Mary's College President, told us that Point Lookout got the storm that narrowly missed us. 

Between the lovely light on the water, the rainbow, the sunset and the beautiful sound of the keyboard by the slight glow from the house windows, it was a romantic sight.  The crickets and cool breeze assisted as well.

The piano was almost wedged between 2 pillars and the original front door of the house.  The workers who squeezed it into place deserve a lot of praise.

Waterside at Woodlawn July 6th

Read my latest Bay Net story on the lovely concert at Woodlawn Farm in Ridge held at 7 P. M. on July 6th.  The concert featured a brass quintet from the Chesapeake Orchestra, with Slack wine provided by Maggie O'Brien and her husband Jim along with food for purchase by St. Inigoes Store.

The next Waterside at Woodlawn will be performed by Brian Ganz on July 20th at 7 P. M., an exceptionally talented pianist.  He plays with such enthusiasm and energy.  I can't wait!

Woodlawn Farm Romantic Jazz Concert August 10th

We attended another fantastic concert at Woodlawn Farm in Ridge, MD starring the Sara Jones Trio.  It was a windy evening, so the temperature was lovely for August.  Paul Langosch (pictured) accompanied on double bass with Shawn Purcell on electric guitar.  To see Jim's article on the Bay Net and my other photo, see Waterside at Woodlawn Presents Sultry Nights in Brazil
