This evening’s (3/16) rehearsal is canceled due to WCPS/FCPS school closure and inclement weather.
Tomorrow, 3/17, students are called to The Maryland Theatre at 5pm in their concert attire. Students will have a rehearsal and dinner will be provided after.
The Concert start time has been pushed to 8pm.
The “Side-by-Side” program by the Maryland Symphony Orchestra is an opportunity for MSO musicians and young talents to collaborate. In this program, high school students sit alongside experienced musicians during rehearsals and a dedicated concert. They all play the same musical pieces, follow the conductor’s guidance, and work together to create beautiful music. The highlight of this experience is the Side-by-Side concert, where the collective effort is showcased, demonstrating how well they can create music as a unified team.
Beyond the technical aspects of playing instruments, the program emphasizes mentorship and a comprehensive learning experience that goes beyond the rehearsals. It’s a musical community where professional musicians offer guidance and support to the younger ones. The concert becomes a platform to witness the harmonious blend of musicians, illustrating the power of collaboration and a shared passion for music. The Maryland Symphony Orchestra not only focuses on playing instruments skillfully but also on fostering growth in new musicians and building a community united by their love for creating music together.
This program is open to high schoolers.
