Great music holds great power.
It can uplift us, inspire us, heal us, bring us closer together, and feed our curious minds. At the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, we thrive on exploring all that symphonic music has to offer by finding ways to listen, learn, and share the power of music. When you join as a member today, you are helping to make music happen, in our halls and across Maryland through vital community partnerships, acclaimed youth education programs, and the highest quality symphonic performances by the BSO’s world-class musicians. In thanks for your generous support, you will receive a whole host of benefits to ensure that you enjoy the fullest possible BSO experience.
