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

DEADLINE EXTENDED: We’re so close — 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 their continuing musical commitment to the Maryland community, we're aiming to rally 2,000 people to make gifts to the BSO by January 31, 2026. Your gift today sends a powerful message to our musicians, our Music Director, and our community that the faith they’ve placed in the BSO is shared and strong. Thank you for your generous support.
