On May 2, 2026, from 5:30-10:30 p.m., step back in time and join friends, families, alumni, and supporters for an unforgettable evening that blends glamour, nostalgia, and high-energy fun.
Guests will enjoy a fabulous night of dinner, drinks, dancing, and a dynamic live and silent auction featuring incredible travel packages, one-of-a-kind experiences, and exclusive items you won’t want to miss. Dress to impress, lace up your dancing shoes, and get ready to relive prom night – with a decidedly grown-up twist.
At the heart of the evening is the opportunity to make a difference. Every sponsor, donation, and bid supports Chesapeake Academy, helping provide an exceptional educational experience for our students.

So gather your friends, bring your energy, and get ready to bid, dance, and celebrate for a great cause. This is your chance to relive prom night in style while supporting the students of Chesapeake Academy – and to be part of a night where the memories (and the impact) last long after the final song plays.
We end our season with a purely classical performance by members of the Camerata Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam. They have been one of the very best orchestras in the world for over 135 years, and 15 members of their chamber ensemble who tour the world when not playing with this phenomenal orchestra will serenade us with Beethoven, Dvorak, and Mozart.

The Declaration of Independence asserted that "all men are created equal" and have natural rights and the right of self-government by consent. Slavery contradicted these core principles of the Declaration of Independence as America's creedal document. In part one of HCC&M's 2026 Summer Speaker Series, Tony Williams, a Senior Fellow at the Bill of Rights Institution, shows how enslaved people were the first to make a claim on those principles of liberty, equality, and self-government to fulfill the unrealized promise of America. Using the Declaration of Independence as their "North Star," they launched "freedom petitions" and "freedom suits," making a claim on natural rights with unexpected and surprising outcomes. Williams will also sign copies of his new book Divided Over the Declaration: How an Enduring Debate Sustains the Vision of America. Wine & cheese reception with speaker and book signing. Part one of the 2026 Summer Speaker Series. more info...
