St. Mary’s College of Maryland, along with the Chesapeake Orchestra and its Music Director Jeffrey Silberschlag, are proud to announce that the 2020 River Concert Series will take place this summer… virtually.

The 22nd anniversary of the popular, family-friendly music festival will be broadcast beginning Friday, June 26 at 7 p.m. and will continue weekly through July 31.

In line with the “new normal” due to the pandemic, Silberschlag, professor of music at St. Mary’s College, will produce an online version of the annual series with details to be announced shortly.

“We look forward to the series returning “in person” on the Townhouse Green at St. Mary’s College next summer.”
