Celebrations and ?firsts? at Meyerhoff

Any 150th anniversary calls for a celebration extraordinaire. And when the honoree is the world-famous PeabodyInstitute, it seems only fitting that a monumental musical collaboration between students of the teaching conservatory and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra should mark that event.

Maestra Marin Alsop, the BSO?s new music director will honor the Institute by leading a very special performance at the Meyerhoff this weekend that features both groups of musicians performing Strauss? monolithic Alpine Symphony.
