Annapolis Symphony presents Shostakovich No. 5 at the Meyerhoff

The Annapolis Symphony Academy’s Orion Youth Orchestra plays Nancy Galbraith’s Midnight Stirring, performing side-by-side with their ASO musician-mentors—a powerful symbol of music’s ability to inspire across generations, conducted by Claire Lewis. Maestro José-Luis Novo conducts the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Reynaldo Moya’s vibrant Polo Romanesco and Shostakovich’s gripping Symphony No. 5—a journey from darkness to triumph that remains one of the most powerful works of the 20th century.
