Make an impact

As one of Maryland's leading nonprofit cultural organizations, we rely on the support of our members, donors, and partners.

Help us meet the leadership Challenge!

The air feels electric at the BSO right now. We reached a major milestone by signing a new three-year agreement with our musicians, and we're thrilled that Music Director Jonathon Heyward has extended his contract through the 2030-31 season! In honor of this continuing musical commitment to the Maryland community, we're aiming to gather 2,000 people to make gifts to the BSO by December 31, 2025. Your gift today gets us closer to meeting the challenge — Thank you for your generous support!
