River concert 5: July 15, 2016 A Civilization Lost

The River concert on Friday at St. Mary's College of MD included the Chesapeake Orchestra and featured Henrik Naimark-Meyers.  The young Swedish-American violin soloist was superb, as were the Orchestra's soloists.  Maestro Jeffrey Silberschlag was enthusiastic as usual and wore his off white suit jacket on a very warm evening.

Friday at 7pm is the last River Concert this season.

River Concert: Mass in Blue July 8, 2016

Larry Vote was guest conductor for the yearly choral concert at St.Mary's College of Maryland on the green.  The concert featured Lena Siekely, mezzo-soprano and the RCS chorus of mostly students and alumni.  A current student, Joey Haavik sang a duet with Ms. Siekely.

The crowd patiently endured several rain showers before and during the concert, and the sun even set beautifully.
