River Concert Series July 15, 2022 Bach to Bop

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!

Since there isn't an Arts Alliance bucket brigade this year, I'm sure the orchestra would love to receive a donation for this year's online concerts.  (BTW, No one told me to say this.)  https://www.chesapeakeorchestra.org/make-a-donation.html

River Concert Friday June 26th, St. Mary's College of Maryland

Nathaniel Silberschlag was the star performer on horn, a very talented 16 year old.  Actually his whole family is very talented!  He played the solo part in Mozart's Concerto number 4 for Horn and did a superb job for the Chesapeake Orchestra.  I am looking forward to the Friday July 3rd concert, "Superman, Sousa, Saturday Night Live".
