2022-2023 Season
Trio Sirènes enjoys pushing boundaries and highlighting the many sonic possibilities of their wind, string, and percussion instruments. With performers drawn from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Trio Sirènes creates an innovative program of standard repertoire, works by contemporary composers, and transcriptions from earlier eras.
A talented string quintet of Baltimore Symphony Orchestra musicians presents a diverse program of chamber music selections. Included will be selections by Martinu, Dohnanyi, and Dvorak.
Three world-class musicians redefine the chamber music genre with the fusion of classical, jazz, Americana, and Latin styles. The program, with classical roots and eclectic content, takes unexpected twists and turns, from a brilliant Baroque duet on piccolo trumpet and horn, to decadent tangos and artistic arrangements of American spirituals.
Accompanied by Julia Morris-Myers, dancer Shaela Davis and narrator Vander Xiom, lyric-dramatic baritone Thomas Beard offers a definitive account of the Negro spiritual. Beginning in 1526 and travelling on to the Civil War, Mr. Beard’s musical history covers all the highlights of this truly American contribution to traditional music.
