In Sunday’s (1/4) Baltimore Banner, Jasmine Vaughn-Hall writes, “Every day, [my] 1-year-old drops little hints that he’s beginning to enjoy music. It’s exciting to watch his imagination expand one tune at a time. This budding curiosity encouraged me to start looking for opportunities for him to hear all kinds of music and interact with it. And maybe even make some friends along the way. Turns out Baltimore has a smorgasbord of options to sate his appetite for music…. The Music Box Series with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is catered to kids 6 months to 3 years old. Kiddos bask in 30-minute interactive performances featuring orchestra musicians. Sessions are usually on Saturday morning, either at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore or the BlackRock Center for the Arts in Montgomery County. The outings might be tied to a theme, so don’t be afraid to dress up if it makes sense. And bring a blanket because seating is on the floor. Tickets are $10, or families can register for a Families Listen Together card for $60 with year-round access to the Music Box Series and Family Concerts for up to two adults and four kids per show.” The article discusses musical events by multiple Baltimore organizations.
