Acclaimed for its enduring pursuit of artistic excellence, the BSO has attracted a devoted national and international following while maintaining deep bonds throughout Maryland through innovative education and community outreach initiatives. The BSO made musical history in September 2007, when Maestra Marin Alsop led her inaugural concerts as the Orchestra’s 12th music director, making her the first woman to head a major American orchestra. With her highly praised artistic vision, her dynamic musicianship and her commitment to accessibility in classical music, Maestra Alsop’s directorship has ushered in a new era for the BSO and its audiences.

Nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Classical Album category, the critically-acclaimed album rose to #6 on the Classical Billboard Charts. Between 2007 and 2009, Maestra Alsop and the BSO recorded a three-disc Dvořák cycle of Symphonies Nos. 6 through 9 on Naxos. In 2010, the BSO under Alsop was joined by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet for a Decca recording of works by Gershwin including Rhapsody in Blue and his Piano Concerto. In 2012, recordings of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra coupled with Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, “Titan,” were released on Naxos. Education and Outreach: The BSO boasts a full complement of educational programs for all ages. For the very young, the BSO offers Music Box Series—an interactive musical experience for children ages six months to three years. For youth, we offer a Midweek Education Concert series (daytime educational concerts for area schoolchildren throughout Maryland), BSO’s Family Concert series (specially designed concerts for families), BSO on the Go and OrchLab (which bring BSO musicians into Montgomery County elementary, middle and high schools for free, interactive music education workshops), annual Side-by-Side concerts (which give aspiring musicians an opportunity to perform and study with professional musicians), OrchKids™ (the BSO’s award-winning during- and after-school music education and life- enrichment initiative, designed to create social change within Baltimore City communities), Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestras (three orchestral ensembles for elementary through high school musicians), Open Rehearsals (middle and high school students attend a BSO rehearsal), and Musical Mentors (invites groups to attend a BSO concert, supplemented with a workshop given by an Orchestra member).

Key Leadership: Marin Alsop, Music Director – Marin Alsop is an inspiring and powerful voice in the international music scene, a music director of vision and distinction who passionately believes that “music has the power to change lives.” She is recognized around the world for her innovative approach to programming and for her deep commitment to education and to serving audiences of all ages. Marin Alsop is the 12th music director of the BSO. With her inaugural concerts in September 2007, she became the first woman to head a major American orchestra. Marin Alsop’s success has garnered national and international attention for her innovative programming and artistry. Her success was recognized when, in 2013, her tenure was extended to the 2020-2021 season. Alsop took up the post of principal conductor of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in 2012, and became music director there in July 2013. There, she steers the orchestra in its artistic and creative programming, recording ventures and its education and outreach activities. She also holds the title of conductor emeritus at the Bournemouth Symphony in the United Kingdom, where she served as the principal conductor from 2002-2008. In the summer of 2014, Maestra Alsop served her 23rd season as music director of the acclaimed Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in California. In September 2013, she made history as the first female conductor of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms in London. When Musical America named Maestra Alsop the 2009 Conductor of the Year, they commented, “[Marin Alsop] connects to the public as few conductors today can.” Paul Meecham, President & CEO— Paul Meecham joined the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as President and CEO in October 2006. A musician by training, he has occupied leadership positions in the classical music industry during the last 25 years in London, San Francisco, New York and Seattle. In partnership with Music Director Marin Alsop, he has led the BSO in pursuing innovative strategies to redefine the role of the American orchestra in the 21st century, combining an entrepreneurial spirit with fiscal responsibility. New initiatives have increased the BSO’s relevance within the community, including the ground-breaking inner-city schools program OrchKids, adult amateur participation programs including “Rusty Musicians” and the BSO Academy, and a commitment to affordable ticket pricing based on a highly successful $25 subscription pricing model during Maestra Alsop’s inaugural season that has increased access and attendance. During his tenure, the BSO has been a regular presence at Carnegie Hall, resumed touring in the 2011-2012 season with a West Coast tour, and has issued several commercial recordings to acclaim. In the current season, Mr. Meecham has played a pivotal role in the planning of the region-wide events scheduled to celebrate the BSO’s Centennial in 2016. Barbara Bozzuto, Board Chair--Barbara Bozzuto was elected chair of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s Board of Directors in September 2014. She has been active as an executive and community leader within the greater Baltimore region for 30 years.

  • Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We Are Pleased to Present to You the 2019-2020 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We are pleased to present to you the 2019-2020 Annual Report. In these uncertain times, Science matters—now, more than ever. With your generous support the Maryland Science Center continues its mission of underscoring the importance of science education in our everyday lives. In the more than 40 years that the Science Center has operated at its Inner Harbor location it is safe to say that there has never been a year quite like this one. When we closed back in early March, we thought it would be for a few weeks. We never anticipated that months later we would not only have to work to ensure that our mission endures, we would also have to reinvent ourselves to continue to serve our many audiences. That process continues today and we have adapted whenever, and wherever we can, as we have for decades. Initially, the Science Center migrated to a completely virtual presence. We worked to provide resources and programs to support parents suddenly faced with becoming in-home educators. We took our popular on-site experiences and moved them completely online. And our Education Team created innovative, livestream programs that allowed participants to work on activities at home with guidance from our team in real time. As summer arrived so did the in-person visits and a return to some familiar routines, but many others, especially our vital work in schools and Head Start programs, remained suspended. It was extremely gratifying to see visitors return to our building and we look forward to that day when we return to classrooms and day care centers, summer camps and libraries, and students on field trips return to the Science Center.

  • The Guy's Guide to Baltimore
    The Guy's Guide to Baltimore 101 Ways To Be A True Baltimorean! By Christina Breda Antoniades. Edited by Ken Iglehart. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that you’ve mastered the Baltimore lexicon. You know that “far trucks” put out “fars” and that a “bulled aig” is something you eat. You know the best places to park for O’s games, where the speed traps are on I-83, and which streets have synchronized traffic lights. You know how to shell a steamed crab. You never, EVER attempt to go downy ocean on a Friday evening in the dead of summer. And, let’s face it, you get a little upset when your friends from D.C. call you a Baltimoro… well, you know. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really know all it takes to be a true Baltimorean? ¶ Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 101 activities, quirky habits, and oddball pastimes, that, even if you only did half of them, would earn you certification as a true Baltimorean. Some have stood the test of time, some are new favorites, but all are unique to Charm City. If you’re a grizzled native, you’ll probably find our list a fun test that takes you down memory lane. And if you’re new in town, the guide below will definitely help you to pass yourself off as a local. ¶ So, whether you’ve been here 60 days or 60 years, we’re sure you’ll find something new (or long forgotten) in the pages that follow.
