The Chestertown Jazz Festival was founded in 1996 by Kent County resident and current Garfield Center board member,  Dr. Melvin S. Rapelyea. The practicing Radiologist and jazz aficionado has returned from seven years as Chief of Radiology at The Cookeville Regional Medical Center, in middle Tennessee to return to the Chester River Health System, where he worked previously from 1991 to 2000. His initial involvement was as board member of The Native and African American Cultural Activities Museum.” The festival was a means of raising money and promoting cultural awareness and diversity in the region.” as said by the founder.  The event, going forward will exclusively benefit the Performing Arts Center, formerly The Prince Theatre.  The mission of the Garfield Performing Arts Center  is to enhance  Maryland’s upper eastern shore community through arts,  entertainment, cultural enrichment and performing arts education.

“The Garfield Center is excited about the return of the jazz festival to Chestertown. Our organization will support the producers in any way to make this a successful, fun event for our community.” says Philip Dutton, the President of the Board of Directors.

The festival features prominent local musicians who will perform on the Chester River Waterfront at Wilmer Park.  This comeback event will begin with a ‘Gospel Brunch’ featuring a local ‘Hundred Voice Gospel Choir.’

For the first time, two international stars will perform on the stage at the waterfront.

Parisian born,  Frederic Yonnet, an Urban Jazz Harmonicist returns to Chestertown to headline the event. He made his debut in Chestertown at the ‘Downrigging Weekend 2011′ when he thrilled and surprised all with his magical, musical genius, belting notes through  his ‘mouth organ’ to exciting  beats.

The second internationally acclaimed performer will be Giacomo Gates, “a bepop and blues singer, keeping the tradition of Eddie Jefferson alive and well.”  Giacomo performed at two of the prior jazz festivals and will return on September 15th.

Additional performers will include The Kent County High School Jazz Band, The Eastern Shore Wind Ensemble, The Washington College Jazz Band, Felicia Carter, and Project Natale.  There is talk of a collaboration with the National Music Festival which will be in town this summer (June 3-16) The National Music Festival brings together world-class music teachers from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory faculties with gifted pre-professional student musicians.

About the National Music Festival

The purpose of the National Music Festival is to bring together world-class music teachers (mentors) from major orchestras, chamber ensembles and conservatory faculties and gifted apprentice musicians on the cusp of their professional careers. All apprentices receive full tuition scholarships and housing. The two groups rehearse and perform together in orchestral, chamber, solo recital, vocal, choral and chamber opera repertoire. For two weeks, these musicians live and work together, presenting 25 concerts, 32 events and over 200 free open rehearsals for music lovers from all over the world.

The National Music Festival is a division of OuterArts, Inc. OuterArts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

In the first year, the Festival served 90 apprentices and employed 23 mentors (including the Artistic and Executive Directors, who also taught). In future years these numbers will grow. In addition to its performances, open rehearsals and broadcasts on National Public Radio, the National Music Festival will record compact discs to be distributed globally on the Naxos/Marco Polo label.

The musicians who came to the 2011 National Music Festival came from 15 countries and 26 U.S. states. The average age of apprentices is 23, although some are older and have already completed their advanced degrees and have begun their careers.

The Festival’s performances and pre-concert talks provide affordably priced entertainment and education to its patrons, including children. All rehearsals are free and open to the public. Attending rehearsals is a particularly good way to introduce young children to classical music since they do not have to stay for the entire time and may attend only as much as they wish.

The Festival is environmentally conscious and collaborates to the fullest extent possible with local organizations in and out of the arts.

The National Music Festival is based on the concept developed and implemented by Richard Rosenberg fifteen seasons ago in Central Arkansas. The format has proved successful – approximately 20,000 people attended Hot Springs Music Festival events last year, and 6.4 million more heard its performances on nationwide radio broadcasts. The Hot Springs Music Festival, with Maestro Rosenberg conducting, recorded six compact discs for Naxos Records. All six recordings feature American music, and two were nominated for Grammy Awards.

Benjamin Franklin: String Quartet
Reale: Composers’ Reminiscenses
Menke: Eine Kleine Tischmusik
