Maryland Symphony Orchestra

Introduce your child to the wonderful world of the orchestra and its many different instruments! Symphony Saturdays, presented by the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, gives your child the opportunity to hear the sounds of the various symphonic instruments, pick them up and try their hand at playing them, and learn about music alongside our professional musicians.

This program offers every first, second and third grade student the opportunity to participate in a series of three interactive assembly presentations about orchestral music. MSO musicians introduce students to instrument families, basic musical concepts, and familiar songs and great classical compositions to improve their musical awareness.

The Maryland Symphony Orchestra Youth Concerts are held each spring at the Maryland Theatre. We utilize the LinkUp program through Carnegie Hall, which gives students grades 3-5 the opportunity to join the orchestra in a participatory program in which they learn to sing and/or play an instrument in the classroom and perform with the MSO from the audience.

The MSO Education committee will review the eligibility of each applicant and determine recipients based upon the MSO Education requirements set forth. The Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s Bennett Rubin Memorial Scholarship Fund is made possible through a grant from the Hagerstown Rotary Club Contributions Committee and contributions invested in Loving Memory of Mr. Bennett S. Rubin, a Past-President of the MSO Board of Directors, by his late wife Mrs. Geraldine Rubin and by The Maryland Symphony Orchestra Guild.

Five Masterworks programs featuring the full orchestra with soloists of international renown.

Popular guest artists and symphonic fare programmed for broad appeal.
