Symphony in the City is a free, three-concert community series.

Symphony in the City 2024 kicked off on Wednesday, September 18, at 7:30 pm at Morgan State University. Held at the Gilliam Concert Hall in the Murphy Fine Arts Center, the first Symphony in the City concert of the season was led by BSO Music Director Jonathon Heyward and featured selections from Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, "Pastorale," known for its vivid depiction of nature and rural scenes. In conversation with Beethoven’s timeless work, the concert also showcased compositions by James Lee III, whose works are infused with vibrant narratives and deep cultural resonance.

The Symphony in the City series continued with performances across Baltimore, including a tribute to Veterans on November 20 at War Memorial and a celebration of Black History Month on February 7 at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.
