Natii Wright Featured in last River Concert of the Summer
On July 24th, Jeffrey Silberschlag wished us his usual early Winter Holiday wish with "Sleigh Ride" and jazz by Natii Wright. I noted that she sang "Summertime", one of my all time favorites and "My Funny Valentine". The Chesapeake Orchestra also played some beautiful Tchaikovsky Ballets among others

Larry Vote conducted Works of Handel at Last Friday's River Concert
Guest conductor, Larry Vote, provided a choral and instrumental production for the River Concert series on the evening of July 11th at St. Mary's College of Maryland. The RCS Choir and Chesapeake Orchestra were featured. His conducting is very artistic, graceful at times and powerful at others.
Major solo performers included Tenor Jeffrey Springer, Trumpeter Jeffrey Silberschlag, 1st Violinist, Regino Madrid, 2nd Violinist, Nicholas Currie and Cellist, Todd Thiel. Some of Handel's musical works performed included the Concerto for Trumpet in D, Zadoc the Priest, The King Shall Rejoice, and "Sound an Alarm" from Judas Machabeus.
The concert ended with joy, featuring Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" from Messiah, (which I can't resist singing, since I have sung it with the St. Mary's College of MD choir (led by Larry) multiple times).

We watched the Woodlawn Farm concert in Ridge last Saturday night, July 4th, featuring the Chesapeake Fellows http://www.chesapeakeorchestra.org/chesapeake-orchestra-fellows.html
(a string sextet)
Zachary Silberschlag on trumpet
and Nathaniel Silberschlag on electronic piano

and a young male bass playerfrom the Fellows group.
It was a lovely intimate concert for a smaller crowd, willing to pay $25 per concert to help support the Chesapeake Orchestra.
There will be 3 more consecutive Saturday concerts open to the public at 7 pm. Wine
and hors d'oeuvres will be available. http://www.chesapeakeorchestra.org/waterside-at-woodlawn.html
