Program accomplishments
- Our Chesapeake Orchestra provided free summer concerts by the only professional symphonic orchestra in Southern Maryland. Concerts are attended by 20,000 concertgoers annually.

This season the Chesapeake Orchestra Series is in its 25th anniversary season and has performed for hundreds of thousands of concertgoers. Our Maryland Youth Symphony provides authentic, rigorous orchestral training, and of course, culminating in several concerts each season for a large ensemble of wonderfully diverse aspiring musicians.
