SUMMARY:She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum proudly announces its newest exhibition\, She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory–a visionary presentation that examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. This exhibition brings together a powerful constellation of contemporary Maryland-based and internationally recognized Black women artists whose deeply personal and politically charged works bear witness to the past\, illuminate its impact on the present\, and conjure Afrofuturist visions. \nThrough a diverse range of media—including collage\, painting\, print\, photography\, textile\, installation\, and time-based media—She Speaks acknowledges Black women as active participants in the making of this country rather than passive bystanders\, highlighting artists who operate as historians\, archivists\, and scholars to tell their stories. Presented alongside rarely seen archival materials and family heirlooms\, the exhibition highlights the pivotal role Black women have played in shaping and preserving this nation since the Revolutionary era\, while envisioning liberated futures through cosmic speculation. \nFeatured artists include Elizabeth Catlett\, Alanna Fields\, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither\, Charlyn Griffith-Oro\, Khaleelah I. L. Harris\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Fabiola Jean-Louis\, Jeannine Kayembe-Oro\, Zsudayka Nzinga\, Ada Pinkston\, Beverly Price\, Faith Ringgold\, Noreen Smith\, Darlene R. Taylor\, Jessica Valoris\, Savannah G. M. Wood\, and Alisha B. Wormsley. \nAs the nation collectively commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence through coordinated national\, Maryland 250\, and Annapolis 250 initiatives\, this exhibition enters the conversation by expanding how American history is remembered and told. By retracing and reinterpreting these histories through the voices of Black women\, the exhibition challenges audiences to consider whose stories have been preserved\, and whose have yet to be fully recognized. \nShe Speaks is curated by Martina Dodd\, BDTM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions\, with curatorial support from Leslie Rose\, Exhibit Manager. Lending institutions include Academy Art Museum\, Galerie Myrtis\, Howard University Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.\, James E. Lewis Museum of Art\, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nShe Speaks will open to the public with an Opening Reception and Black History Month celebration on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16\, 2027\, with interpretive programming offered throughout the year to further engage with the exhibition’s themes of history\, memory\, resistance\, and Black women’s enduring contributions to the nation’s cultural and civic life.

SUMMARY:Framing and Finishing: Woodworking in the Colonial Age
DESCRIPTION:Well before America declared its independence in 1776\, a building boom across the colonies meant that architects\, carpenters\, and artisans needed expertise\, materials\, and tools. Tools were specific to the role of carpenter\, joiner\, master\, journeyman\, apprentice\, and the unskilled labor force\, which would have included slave labor. \nThis exhibition represents more than 50 user-made and commercially produced house-building tools utilized by 18th-century woodworkers. Tools for framing a house\, along with those for finishing the interior–floors\, doors\, cornices\, windows\, shutters\, and chair rails-are represented. British and American wood planes\, measuring devices\, knives and saws\, braces\, and other implements are each a piece of art\, each used for a specific purpose. We acknowledge the skill and resourcefulness of these craftsmen and their part in building a new nation.

SUMMARY:Abjection and Alienation: Video Works by Martha Rosler and Pipilotti Rist
DESCRIPTION:A visceral comparison of two influential works of video art: Blutclip (1993) by Swiss visual artist Pipilotti Rist and Vital Statistics of a Citizen\, Simply Obtained (1977) by American conceptual artist Martha Rosler. \nThis exhibition invites you to compare these two works; to explore how each show the female body as transmogrified by society into a thing both abject and alien. Of equal importance\, we invite you to interrogate the different ways human beings are systematically controlled and dehumanized—not only women\, but also ‘foreigners’ and ‘citizens’. These works dare to ask how a person can feel both alien and native at the same time\, bound or unbound\, home or not-at-home. They challenge the societal forces that create this rending state of being. \nThematic questions we encourage you to consider while viewing these works include: Why do we otherize people? How can an objectified person reclaim feeling human? How can I be whole again? \nThis exhibition is sponsored by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt. \nHOURS AND ADMISSION: Thursday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 10am-6pm; Friday\, 2-7:30pm. Admission is Free. \nACCESSIBILITY AND PARKING: The museum is wheelchair accessible. Free handicap and other parking available in the Edensword Parking Lot (off St. John’s Street between College Avenue and Calvert Street–turn at the yellow house).

SUMMARY:Pablo Cruise
DESCRIPTION:In 1975\, Pablo Cruise released its first A&M album simply entitled Pablo Cruise. The album cover was shot in the tropical gardens of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park\, and it featured a huge gorilla standing front and center. The band\, David Jenkins (guitars\, vocals)\, Cory Lerios(keyboards\, vocals)\, Bud Cockerel (bass\, vocals)\, and Steve Price (drums\, percussion) were nowhere in sight. At that point\, there was a bit of a mystique surrounding Pablo Cruise\, and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant\, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo” represents an honest\, real\, down-to-earth individual\, and “Cruise” depicts his fun-loving\, easy-going attitude towards life. In essence\, that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about. Honest\, real down-to-earth vocals\, accompanied by fun yet elegant\, infectious grooves. To hear Pablo Cruise on record is one thing\, but to experience the band live is an exhilarating event!

SUMMARY:Annapolis Symphony Orchestra Makes Meyerhoff Debut with Dimitri Shostakovich’s Gripping Symphony No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Maestro José-Luis Novo Leads a Historic One-Night Performance\nat Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall on June 1\, 2026\, at 8 pm\n The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra (ASO) makes its debut at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall on Monday\, June 1\, 2026\, at 8:00 PM\, with a landmark program led by Artistic Director and Conductor José-Luis Novo. The concert coincides with the League of American Orchestras Annual Conference and is a rare opportunity for audiences to experience the ASO in one of the nation’s most celebrated concert halls. \nThe program is a journey from darkness to triumph that unfolds from low and somber tones to powerful and energetic celebration. It opens with the Annapolis Symphony Academy’s Orion Youth Orchestra performing side-by-side with their ASO musician-mentors—a powerful symbol of music’s ability to inspire across generations. The evening culminates with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 in D minor\, Op. 47—one of the most gripping works of the 20th century—and Reynaldo Moya’s Polo Romanesco\, a vibrant postmodern send-up of centuries-old harmonic tradition. \n“This concert represents everything we aspire to as an orchestra\,” said ASO Executive Director Erica Bondarev Rapach. “For the musicians to step onto the Meyerhoff stage for the first time—alongside our Academy students—and share this extraordinary program with colleagues from orchestras across the country is a moment we will never forget.” \nThe Music: From First Notes to Triumph\nNancy Galbraith — Midnight Stirring\nThe evening opens with Nancy Galbraith’s Midnight Stirring\, performed side-by-side by the Orion Youth Orchestra and their ASO musician-mentors. Beginning with a solo violin melody over low\, slightly ominous chords\, the work unfolds into a lively ostinato with richly harmonized melodic lines—full of rhythmic energy and texture. Originally commissioned for the 2015 National Flute Convention in Washington\, D.C.\, it was rescored by the composer for orchestra\, and it makes for a striking and meaningful collaboration between young artists and professionals sharing the same stage. \nBenjamin Britten — Soírées musicales\, Op. 9\nThe Orion Youth Orchestra and ASO musicians perform Britten’s Soírées musicales\, a five-movement suite composed by the 22-year-old Britten\, drawing on themes from Rossini’s collection of the same name. The orchestra will perform movements 1\, 3\, and 5. Charming\, dance-like\, and sharpened with inventive orchestration\, it showcases a young composer’s technical command and irresistible wit—an ideal work for young musicians to inhabit and own. \nReinaldo Moya — Polo Romanesco\nMoya’s Polo Romanesco is a postmodern\, playful\, and deeply felt exploration of the Romanesca—a harmonic formula dating to the 16th century that traveled from Europe across the Atlantic and became the foundation for the beloved Venezuelan folk song\, the Polo Margriteño. Moya’s piece weaves old and new\, European and Venezuelan\, classical and popular into something entirely its own. It is a bridge built from music across unthinkable distances and centuries.\nDmitri Shostakovich — Symphony No. 5 in D minor\, Op. 47\nWritten under intense political pressure in 1937\, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony remains one of the most electrifying and contested works in the symphonic canon. Was it a sincere act of defiance\, or a calculated concession to Soviet authority? Scholars and audiences have debated the composition for nearly a century\, while audiences have adored the piece for its unforgettable intensity. From a hauntingly somber opening to a finale of overwhelming force\, the symphony demands everything from the orchestra and gives everything in return. \n“Shostakovich’s Fifth is a work of immense complexity and raw power\,” said Maestro Novo. “It speaks to resilience\, to survival\, to the endurance of the human spirit under impossible pressure. To perform it on this stage\, at this moment\, feels right.” \nThe Annapolis Symphony Academy Orion Youth Orchestra\nThe Orion Youth Orchestra\, conducted by ASA Assistant Conductor Claire Lewis\, opens the concert performing Midnight Stirring and Soírées musicales side-by-side with ASO musicians—a mentor-student collaboration that is among the most distinctive and moving aspects of the ASO’s mission. The Annapolis Symphony Academy offers students from preschool through high school the opportunity to study with the ASO’s professional musicians. The Orion Youth Orchestra represents the program’s highest ensemble level. \n  \nConcert Details\nShostakovich Symphony No. 5 at The Meyerhoff \nAn ASO Special Debut Performance \nMonday\, June 1\, 2026 | 8:00 PM \nJoseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall\, Baltimore\, MD \n\nProgram: \nNancy Galbraith — Midnight Stirring (with Orion Youth Orchestra\, conducted by Claire Lewis) \nBenjamin Britten — Soírées musicales\, Op. 9 (with Orion Youth Orchestra\, conducted by José-Luis Novo) \nReinaldo Moya — Polo Romanesco \nDmitri Shostakovich — Symphony No. 5 in D minor\, Op. 47 \nRunning Time: 90 minutes\, no intermission. \nTickets\nTickets for this performance are available exclusively through the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s website.
