MSO Christmas Tree Shines Bright in the Maryland State House

This holiday season, the Maryland Symphony Orchestra is honored to be recognized with a stunning Christmas tree displayed in the Maryland State House. Thanks to the creativity and dedication of the Town and Country Garden Club of Hagerstown, the MSO is featured as the centerpiece of this festive decoration.

The tree, beautifully adorned, celebrates the MSO’s legacy with seven small frames highlighting key aspects of our organization:

  • The rich history of the Maryland Symphony Orchestra
  • The exceptional leadership of Music Director Elizabeth Schulze
  • Our impactful educational outreach initiatives that inspire the next generation of musicians

This recognition not only showcases the MSO’s contributions to the cultural life of Maryland but also brings the spirit of music into the heart of our state’s government.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Mary Heizer and the members of the Town and Country Garden Club for their thoughtful and creative efforts in making this tribute possible. Their dedication ensures that our music and mission are celebrated far and wide during this special time of year.

If you find yourself in or near Annapolis in the coming weeks, we encourage you to visit the Maryland State House to see the MSO tree in all its festive glory. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the holiday spirit while celebrating the arts that enrich our community.

From all of us at the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, we wish you a joyous and harmonious holiday season!
