by James Carder

The 2022 Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival will be held at the Ebenezer Theater (17 S. Washington St., Easton, MD) June 10–18. The Festival’s six concerts will feature 18 performances, each conceived around “artful dialogues” among musicians and composers over the centuries. Chesapeake Music Executive Director Don Buxton stated, “Given the stresses of the ongoing pandemic, the Festival’s program hopes to offer the calm, beauty, and humanity that especially chamber music can communicate between musicians and audiences.”

Many longtime Festival participants will be back ~ including its artistic directors, cellist Marcy Rosen and violinist Catherine Cho, as well as clarinetist J. Lawrie Bloom, pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute, flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, oboist Peggy Pearson and violinist/violist brothers Todd and Daniel Phillips. Completing the roster will be cellist Edward Aaron, violinist Carmit Zori, violinist Jennifer Liu and violist Maiya Papach. Of special
