Join Us for UPTOWN NIGHTS with the BSO!


The Center for a Healthy Maryland, MedChi & the BSO invite you to UPTOWN NIGHTS Dinner & A Show. This annual event has been enjoyed by all who have attended. Tour the historic Maryland State Medical Society and see the development of the not-yet-named MedChi Museum, and enjoy a wonderful dinner, before heading across the street to the Joseph Myerhoff Symphony Hall. Beat the Mother's Day crowds on Sunday and bring your mother to this Saturday night concert!

UPTOWN NIGHTS features the brilliant trumpeter/vocalist/conductor Byron Stripling, vocalist Carmen Bradford, and tap dancer Leo Manzari, as well as the entire Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Inspired by Harlem’s famed musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy, this swingin’ night of musical sensations focuses on Harlem’s heyday when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band, and Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ethel Waters showcased the classics of the Great American Songbook. This event promises to be a swinging good time!

Tickets are $80 per person for members and guests, and $20 per person for students and residents. To purchase tickets, please click here. For information, please click here.
