Every year, we look forward to previewing “Chamber Music by the Sea.” But when the pandemic hit, there were questions about whether or not the event would even happen.

We talk with Artistic Director of “Chamber Music by the Sea”, Elena Urioste, to discuss the virtual event. We also talk with Violinist, Elena Urioste, about their “Uriposte Juke Box” series.
Last week, we talked about the Accomack County father who bought his kids an ice cream truck to teach them a lesson in responsibility. We have no shortage of amazing young men and women on Delmarva. Today, is no different. Today we learn about the kiddos behind “Lemonade Kidz.”
