St. Anne's Concert Series

It’s “a welcome to summer,” “a season finale celebration” or “a concert just because we like to make music.” We don’t want the season to end!

So we’re doing a one-night music festival! Like our Thursday series, this is casual, fun and a chance to hear some great performances right downtown in Annapolis.
We welcome J. Ernest Green’s good friend from Italy, Stefano Vignati, who will conduct the Annapolis Chamber Orchestra and our special guests soprano Jessica Marsten, guitarist Piotr Pakhomkin and organist Larry Molinaro. How did Ernie meet Stefano? See below!

On the program are works by three mega composers:

• Antonio Vivaldi’s beautiful guitar Concerto d major with Piotr
  
• Handel’s Organ Concerto in F major with Larry
  
• Mozart’s “Exultate Jubilate” with Jessica, who’s performing with us for the first time! (She has Peabody ties!)

No Special Evening Out is complete without food and drink and this is no exception. Live Arts Maryland and the Friends of the Annapolis Chorale will host a post-performance reception at the church to give everyone a chance to meet the evening’s performers.

CALLING ALL STUDENTS: Use our Student Rush program and come free! Come to St. Anne’s a half-hour before curtain with your ID! (those under 18 don’t need an ID)

Finish your Thursday on a relaxing musical note with these free hour-long concerts at 6:00 PM.
