This season, we celebrate the legacy of Leonard Bernstein as we commemorate the 100 th anniversary of his birth in 2018. Featured on the cover of Overture is a wonderful photo of Music Director Marin Alsop and Leonard Bernstein, and you will enjoy the special article in this edition as we look forward to“ To Bernstein with Love” and this centennial celebration.
The leadership and vision of our community have fostered our orchestra that today is a premier cultural asset of our city and the State of Maryland, recognized as one of the world’ s most important orchestras. The BSO is entering its second century while achieving extraordinary artistic excellence. As the new year begins, we are delighted to again feature some of our exceptional musicians as soloists with the orchestra.
