In
the early days of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, music lovers would
line up along Charles and Fayette streets waiting for the Albaugh ticket
agency to open. (Baltimore Sun files, circa 1916)
A pronounced effort began a century or so ago to improve Baltimore’s civic life by boosting its cultural side.
The powers-that-were decided that the city needed an art museum, and that led to the incorporation of the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1914 (the current building opened in 1929). Local leaders also advocated for a municipal orchestra, a goal realized when the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra played its inaugural concert at the Lyric Opera House, Feb. 11, 1916.
The eventful story of that musical addition to the cityscape is engagingly told in a just-released book, “Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: A Century of Sound,” by Michael Lisicky, the BSO oboist also known for his chronicles of extinct department stores.
