BSO to Perform at APGFCU Arena at Harford Community College

The world-renowned Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) will celebrate the originality and independence of America’s greatest composers at the APGFCU Arena at Harford Community College on Saturday, July 8, at 7:30 PM.

From the jazzy high life captured by George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein to the epic film scores of Aaron Copland and John Williams, the American sound is lively and limitless. Valerie Coleman’s anthem for essential workers and a new spin on patriotism by BSO Artistic Partner and hip-hop spoken word artist Wordsmith update the national tradition for the 21st century. Like the flag that once flew over Baltimore’s harbor and inspired “The Star-Spangled Banner,” this big and bold music is a declaration of freedom.

Music for Maryland Tour reservations are “Pay What You Wish” with a suggested donation of $10 per ticket. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit https://my.bsomusic.org/18646/18661.

The show is supported by the Maryland State Arts Council and the Harford County Cultural Arts Board.

About the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

For over a century, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has been recognized as one of America’s leading orchestras and one of Maryland’s most significant cultural institutions. The orchestra is internationally renowned and locally admired for its innovation, performances, recordings, and educational outreach initiatives, including OrchKids.

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs annually for more than 275,000 people throughout the State of Maryland. Since 1982, the BSO has performed at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore, and since 2005, with the opening of The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD, the BSO became the nation’s first orchestra performing its full season of classical and pops concerts in two metropolitan areas. In July 2022, the BSO once again made musical history with its announcement that Jonathon Heyward would succeed Music Director Laureate and OrchKids Founder Marin Alsop as the Orchestra’s next Music Director. Maestro Heyward begins his five-year contract in the 2023-24 season.
