About the Program:
The Maryland Center for the Arts partners with Baltimore Symphony musicians and Music Land to host a master class and concert program for instrumental students, elementary through high school age, in a rare opportunity for everyone to interact with some of our region’s finest musicians in an intimate setting.
The master classes offer students the unique opportunity to play a solo piece of their choice to receive free, personalized coaching from a Baltimore Symphony musician. Each master class is followed by a brief concert performed by the musician. Observers are welcome to attend both the master class and concert. $10 suggested donation to support the program. Maryland Center for the Arts partners with Music Land in Bel Air to host all of the master classes and concerts. |
