The musicians who perform for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra do so under the terms of an agreement between the BSO and the Local 40-543 , AFM .

For over a century , the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra ( BSO ) has been recognized as one of America ’ s leading orchestras and one of Maryland ’ s most significant cultural institutions . The orchestra is internationally renowned and locally admired for its innovation , performances , recordings , and educational outreach initiatives including OrchKids .

In July 2022 , the BSO once again made musical history with its announcement that Jonathon Heyward would succeed Music Director Laureate and OrchKids Founder Marin Alsop as the Orchestra ’ s next Music Director . Maestro Heyward begins his five-year contract in the 2023 – 24 season .

The BSO performs annually for more than 275,000 people throughout the State of Maryland . Since 1982 , the BSO has performed at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore , and since 2005 , with the opening of The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda , MD , the BSO became the nation ’ s first orchestra performing its full season of classical and pops concerts in two metropolitan areas . More information about the BSO can be found at BSOmusic . org .

Members of the BSO perform with instruments and bows of Marin Alsop ’ s family collection including Ruth Alsop ’ s 18th-century cello by Italian luthier Carlo Antonio Testore and K . Lamar Alsop ’ s 1810 Nicolas Lupot violin — an act of generosity that has lifted the sound of the Orchestra and kept the tones of Marin Alsop ’ s late parents in her ears .
