It is the BSO's hope that by sharing our Case for Music, we will not only inspire
support of the Orchestra but also inform further music advocacy.

Music and the arts are powerful catalysts for the culture, quality of life and
economy within local communities. The BSO is proud of its role in using music to
help realize the full potential of our young citizens, enrich the lives of individuals of all ages and have a positive impact on not only Baltimore City but throughout the State of Maryland.

Please browse the following links to explore some of the research, resources and theories
surrounding music's many broad and positive impacts, including specific ways the BSO is
playing its part to bring music appreciation, education and participation to a broad and diverse audience.
