The Chesapeake Orchestra will have its inaugural broadcast from The USA starting on June 26, 2020, at 7 pm. and will continue through July 31.  These online concerts will be linked through the Chesapeake Orchestra, Alba Music Festival, and St. Mary's College of Maryland websites, creating an initial viewing audience in the tens of thousands.
     Our concerts will have our signature variety of programming.  The Chesapeake Orchestra will also feature some contributions from our music friends abroad.  Additionally, the new online arts channel will have space for artist interviews, "ArtsTalk," and increased opportunities for our sponsors and advertisers.
      We are very excited about this evolution in our arts programming.    As we move deeper into the summer and early Fall, The Chesapeake Orchestra still has outstanding invitations for live performances. We will address those opportunities as we are able to process the best advice regarding the pandemic.
