Naptown Philharmonic Sport Themed Concert, Let's Play Ball!

This program is inspired by the great all-American game of baseball, featuring timeless favorites such as Take Me Out to the Ball Game, Rookie of the Year and Home Stretch and will captivate audience members of all ages.

And speaking of our youth, this concert also highlights the winners of our annual, state-wide Young Artist Concerto Competition (open to all high-school students throughout the state of Maryland). A heart-warming, entertaining evening for all!

What a great way to bring the 2024-2025 season to a close!
