Chesapeake Music celebrates its 40th Anniversary Chamber Music Festival with one of the most exciting rosters and programs to date!
Enjoy the elegance and warmth of Boccherini’s Quintet in D Minor, arranged for the oboe by Peggy Pearson and featuring cellists Marcy Rosen and Sterling Elliott. Delight in Schumann’s late trio, Märchenerzählungen (“Fairy Tales”), featuring the unusual combination of clarinet, viola, and piano and described by the composer as “picturesque and fanciful” and “highly romantic.” Discover Amy Beach’s small gem for cello and piano, the song-like “Dreaming,” featuring Sterling Elliott and Albert Cano Smit. The concert closes with Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 2 in C Major, a vibrant work filled with rich melodies.
General Admission tickets are $70; six concerts can be purchased for the price of five through a subscription package ($350). Chesapeake Music also offers a limited number of free tickets for students, music educators, and Talbot County First Responders, as well as a “buy-one-get-one” option for first-time patrons of Chesapeake Music.
