The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s GospelFest returns for an evening of worship featuring GRAMMY award-winning vocalist Donald Lawrence in an uplifting performance with the BSO. The Orchestra is joined by spoken word artist Wordsmith and powerhouse HBCU choirs from Morgan State University and Howard University.
