Join us on Tuesday, March 4, at 5:30 PM at for the first lecture in the MSO’s Spring Lecture Series!
Have you ever wondered how a symphony orchestra plans its season? How does an orchestra decide which pieces to perform, which guest artists to feature, and how to balance artistic vision with financial realities? Join us for the first lecture in the Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s Spring Lecture Series, featuring Kim Bowen, Executive Director of the MSO, as she takes you behind the scenes of season planning.
In this engaging discussion, Kim will explore the intricate process of building a concert season—from selecting repertoire and securing guest artists to managing budgets and negotiating contracts. Learn how artistic vision, audience engagement, and financial considerations come together to create a season filled with musical excellence. Whether you’re a longtime concertgoer, a musician, or simply curious about the inner workings of the orchestra world, this is a fascinating opportunity to gain insider knowledge.
This event is FREE and open to the public; however, we ask that you RSVP in advance due.
