(March 26, 2015) — The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra today announced its 2015 summer programs. This summer’s concerts will include the annual Star-Spangled Spectacular at Oregon Ridge Park, comedian and singer Seth MacFarlane, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Dvořák’s New World Symphony. Calendar and concert information is below. For more info, please visit BSOmusic.org. The summer season begins with Baltimore’s favorite Fourth of July tradition: Star-Spangled Spectacular at Oregon Ridge Park (Cockeysville, Md.) on July 3 & 4, featuring patriotic favorites that culminate in a brilliant fireworks display. BSO Assistant Conductor Nicholas Hersh leads the BSO in selections such as Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, Sousa’s Stars and Stripes Forever and more. Each concert begins with the National Anthem, sung by the winner(s) of the BSO’s eighth annual “O, Say Can You Sing?” singing competition. (Full details about the competition, including audition information, will be announced at a later date.) On July 16 at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, creator of the TV series “Family Guy,” and actor, comedian, singer and songwriter Seth MacFarlane brings his popular show to Baltimore for one evening only. MacFarlane combines his smooth singing talents with his love of musicals, big band and classic artists in a performance that is an entertaining mix of comedy and music.
