SUMMARY:Ailey II at Maryland Hall
DESCRIPTION:Maryland Hall is proud to announce that Ailey II\, one of the nation’s most celebrated contemporary dance companies\, will perform on the Main Stage on Sunday\, October 11\, 2026\, at 7 p.m. \nThe engagement offers audiences an early look at Maryland Hall’s upcoming 2026–2027 season and reflects the organization’s continued commitment to presenting premier artists and transformative cultural experiences in Annapolis. \n“Ailey II represents the kind of exceptional artistry and cultural impact audiences can expect from Maryland Hall as we look toward the future\,” said Christopher Miller\, Acting Executive Director of Maryland Hall. “We are thinking creatively and ambitiously about the artists\, experiences\, and opportunities we bring to our community\, with a renewed vision for what Maryland Hall can be and whom it can serve.” \nFounded in 1974 as the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble\, Ailey II grew into one of the country’s most celebrated dance companies under founding Artistic Director Sylvia Waters\, who was selected by Alvin Ailey and led the company for 38 seasons. Today\, under Artistic Director Francesca Harper\, Ailey II continues to carry forward Alvin Ailey’s pioneering mission to create an extended cultural community through dance performances\, training\, and community programs for all people. \nFor more than 50 years\, the company has brought together the energy of the country’s most promising early-career dancers with the creative vision of leading and emerging choreographers\, delivering performances that are artistically exceptional and deeply connected to the communities they reach. \nBringing Ailey II to Maryland Hall marks a significant moment for the organization and the Annapolis community. The engagement reflects Alvin Ailey’s enduring belief in the power of dance\, Maryland Hall’s commitment to Art for All\, and Maryland Hall’s vision to be a leading destination for premier\, transformative arts experiences. \n“Bringing Ailey II to Maryland Hall is an exciting moment for our stage and for Annapolis\,” said Austin Sposato\, Director of Programming. “The company honors an extraordinary artistic legacy while showcasing the versatility\, technicality\, and eloquence of the next generation of dancers and choreographers. It is a powerful introduction to the ambition and range audiences will experience throughout the coming season.” \nDance Magazine has called Ailey II second to none\,” while The New York Times declared\, “There’s nothing like an evening spent with Ailey II\, the younger version of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.” \nTickets for Ailey II are on sale now at marylandhall.org/presents. The complete 2026–2027 Maryland Hall Presents season will be unveiled on July 31\, bringing even more opportunities to experience what’s next at Maryland Hall. \nA bold new season is taking the stage\, and we’ve been saving you a seat.

SUMMARY:A Concert for Peace
DESCRIPTION:Live Arts Maryland opens the season with music that explores peace\, compassion\, and our shared humanity. Karl Jenkins composed The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace as a response to the tragedies of war\, creating one of the most compelling choral works of the past quarter century. Blending the traditional Mass with poetry and texts from many cultures and faiths\, the work traces a journey from conflict to hope and reconciliation. \n​ \nThe program is complemented by Frank Ticheli’s Earthsong\, a heartfelt call to care for one another and the world we share; Edward Elgar’s poignant Sospiri\, a quiet meditation on loss and remembrance; and Kim André Arnesen’s Do Not Neglect to Show Hospitality\, a moving reminder of the importance of kindness and compassion. Together\, these works invite us to reflect on the values that unite us and the enduring hope for peace.

SUMMARY:Inspired By The Best: Painting Club for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 10/9/26\, 6:30pm-9pm\, Room: 214\, Price: $93.15 (TFA26ST01) \nA totally great time that may result in mild side effects such as newfound opinions about color theory\, emotional attachment to paintbrushes\, and a suspicious interest in berets. Inspired by artists who have already done it—or some who are still in the process—we’ll look at their interesting lives and works. Then\, using their stories and examples\, create new\, personal “inspired-by” artwork of our own. You’ll hear a little art history\, maybe a funny anecdote or two\, and get into the “why” behind the work—the stuff that makes it matter. It’s less about technical perfection and more about clarity of message. In the words of Mark Rothko\, “There is no such thing as a good painting about nothing.” No prior experience necessary. All are welcome\, because creativity belongs to everyone and we intend to prove it (while having a lot of fun doing it). Each workshopper will leave with a finished acrylic painting.\n*All supplies provided*\nTeaching Artist: Stacey Turner\nMinimum Enrollment: 4
