a hall for all
The Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall is a home for transformative musical experiences that engage and captivate a wide range of audiences. Now more than ever, we are laser-focused on the patron experience.From the lobby to the stage, we are amplifying the voices of our community!
As the largest arts organization in Maryland, the BSO is committed to sharing the magic of music with more people, more often. Our success is rooted in listening, learning, and actively responding to the needs of our community. Expanding the range of our programming and events at the Meyerhoff is just one of many ways we are pivoting to become a more inclusive space. Access to and enjoyment of musical excellence is an opportunity every Marylander should have.
world-class music in your backyard
As a founding partner, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs more than 30 concerts at Strathmore this year, including classical, POPS, films and now BSO: Fusion concerts.
Maryland’s Symphony Orchestra
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra extends its reach beyond the Baltimore region and serves as Maryland’s premier orchestra. By performing weekly in one of the finest concert halls in the country - The Music Center at Strathmore, the BSO brings world-class symphonic music that much closer to residents of Montgomery County and the broader Washington metropolitan area.
As a founding partner and built with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the forefront of the design influence, Strathmore is designed to ensure that sound reaches all corners of the space uniformly following reflection from the curved surface. In this perfect setting, you will get to enjoy a wide range of thrilling programs, world-renowned guest artists, and of course the extraordinary Baltimore Symphony Orchestra!
In addition to being the most sonically ideal venue for live symphony music in the DC metro area, The Music Center Strathmore is conveniently located. Connected to an upper floor of the parking garage at the Grosvenor-Strathmore Washington Metro station via an elevated pedestrian walkway, Strathmore is accessible for patrons coming from Washington, DC, as well as the northern part of Montgomery County, Maryland via the Metro rail system, and event parking is free.
