 Baltimore's world-class orchestra |
1212 Cathedral Street Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall Baltimore, MD 21201-5545 United States +1 410 783 8000 http://www.baltimoresymphony.org |
Under the baton of Yuri Temirkanov, the BSO continues to mature and evolve. Recent performances of works by such diverse composers as Mahler and Ravel have thrilled music fans and inspired rave reviews. Some of the world's greatest soloists regularly join the orchestra at its home in the acoustically splendid Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, just North of downtown. The Saturday morning "casual" concerts are particularly well suited for busy visitors who might not have time for a regular weekday evening performance. Ticket prices range from $16 to $46. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will now perform at a new 100 million dollar music center, Stathmore, as well. Located in N. Behtesda, a Maryland suburb of the capital, Stathmore will host approximately 25 additional concerts per year. See the website for details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Amazing underwater experience |
501 East Pratt Street Baltimore, MD 21202 United States +1 410 576 3800 http://www.aqua.org |
This aquarium is perhaps the greatest attraction in Baltimore's celebrated Inner Harbor. The exhibits start small with samples of marine life from local waters, but visitors soon find themselves eye-to-eye with sharks, rays and other very large creatures. A simulated rainforest ecosystem and regularly scheduled dolphin shows round out the attractions. Admission is high, and the wait can be long, but both are worth it. See their website for further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
