They won the Jury and Audience Award at the 2019 Chamber Music Competition of the Migros-Kulturprozent in Zurich, received a special prize at the 2019 International Anton Rubinstein Competition in Dusseldorf, and were silver medal winners at the 3rd Berliner Competition in Berlin. Chesapeake Jazz is looking forward to a very exciting year. A concert with the Andersen Twins on February 15 was very successful, with a sell-out crowd of 180 in attendance and the support of 30 sponsors. Most importantly, the concert was enjoyed by all. Next on the schedule is our fundraiser on April 25 at the Talbot Country Club. This event is a great opportunity to enjoy a fantastic concert by the Sharel Cassity Quartet and to pre-purchase tickets for the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival held over Labor Day weekend. Sharel Cassity is a saxophonist, composer, and educator who headlined the Festival in 2013. Sharel graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City and has shared the stage with musicians such as Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Natalie Cole, and other jazz greats. Monty Alexander refers to her as "a musician's musician." We are now in the planning stages of the Monty Alexander Jazz Festival. We're sure you will be surprised by some of the talent we are considering! As always, thanks for your support. Regards, Joe Fischer 410-819-0380 7
