The Maryland Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is excited to announce the relocation of its Administrative Office and Box Office to a new space at 363 South Cleveland Avenue in Hagerstown. This move, initiated by the MSO’s growth and new initiatives, will allow the orchestra to expand its educational outreach and deepen its commitment to the community. The MSO will begin transitioning from its current office at the Maryland Theatre on November 21, 2024, and the new location will be fully operational by December 2, 2024.
Since moving to the Maryland Theatre Performing Arts Center in 2019, the MSO has grown, adding new staff members to support the development of educational and community outreach programs. These include the creation of the Vincent Rauth and Barbara Ingram Groh Education Department, which will allow the MSO to broaden its reach, providing youth and adult education programs across local schools, senior centers, and other community spaces. The new office will also offer dedicated space for the re-established Symphony Guild, which will support the MSO’s mission by engaging volunteers in strategic projects and organizing community-focused events.
“We are excited to be entering this new chapter for the Maryland Symphony Orchestra,” said Kim Bowen, MSO Executive Director. “This move provides the space necessary to grow and expand our music education and community engagement opportunities across the region. We are grateful for the continued support of our patrons, partners, and the community as we embark on this journey of expanded service and outreach.”
As the MSO looks to the future, it remains deeply committed to its partnership with the Maryland Theatre. While the administrative office will be relocating, all MSO concerts will continue to be held in the theatre’s historic auditorium. This enduring collaboration ensures that audiences can continue to enjoy exceptional musical performances in the heart of downtown Hagerstown.
“The Maryland Symphony Orchestra has simply outgrown its current office space, thanks to the tremendous support of our community and the expansion of our community programs,” said Jason Call, President of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors. “We’re excited to offer an enhanced experience to patrons and to engage even more deeply with the broader community through new initiatives. This is truly a step forward for the MSO.”
During the transition period from November 21 to December 2, patrons are encouraged to call the MSO Administrative Office at 301-797-4000 before visiting to ensure they are directed to the correct location. The new office at 363 South Cleveland Avenue will officially open on December 2, 2024.
