41st Annual Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival - Festival Opening Extravaganza!

Chesapeake Music presents its 41st Annual Chamber Music Festival!

Enjoy the lyricism of Schubert’s String Quartet No. 8, composed when he was 17. Discover the fun and wild, some would say unhinged, virtuosic score of Kate Soper’s Only the Words Themselves Mean What they Say for soprano, flute, bass flute and piccolo. And be moved by Dvořák’s highly romantic Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, a masterwork notable for its use of melodies he composed in a Slavic folk-music style.
