SUMMARY:When the Call Came: Civilians and the Maryland Flying Camp
DESCRIPTION:Marylanders organized a rapid-response militia to defend liberty during the early days of the American Revolution.

The war was fought not only on battlefields\, but in homes\, shops\, taverns\, and fields! \nVisitors of all ages can take part in period games and a hands-on activity from the Revolutionary era. \nThis is a drop-in style program. Visitors may join at any time during program hours and explore at their own pace through informal interaction and demonstrations. Advance registration recommended\, but not required.

SUMMARY:Mermaid Storytime & Wish Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:A calm\, magical storytime with a real mermaid—designed for little ones who still believe. Promotional images by: Sarah James Photography. \n\n\n\n\n✨ A Magical\, Intimate Mermaid Experience ✨ \nMeet a real mermaid in a calm\, storybook setting designed just for young children. \nJoin Mermaid Carissa for a one-of-a-kind storytime created especially for preschool and early elementary ages. This is not a crowded party or high-energy event. It is a gentle\, immersive experience where each child is seen\, included\, and part of the magic. \nOnly 5 children are admitted to keep the experience personal and meaningful. \nWhat happens during the experience: \nChildren are welcomed with a short\, gentle playtime from 2:40–3:00 PM\, where they can explore a cozy nursery space and settle in comfortably. \nAt 3:00 PM\, Mermaid Carissa begins a peaceful\, engaging storytime designed to hold attention without overwhelming young guests. \nAfter the story\, each child is invited forward one-by-one for a special wish-making moment. During this time\, each child receives a shell necklace\, makes a magical wish\, and shares a quiet\, personal interaction with the mermaid. \nA dedicated assistant captures each child’s moment during the ceremony\, so families receive keepsake photos at no additional cost. \nEach child also leaves with a small take-home treasure\, including a wrapped surprise gift and a handmade crocheted mermaid tail. \nThis experience is intentionally designed to feel calm\, personal\, and memorable—perfect for children who thrive in smaller\, more meaningful settings.

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.
