Symphony in the Sky is an intimate brass performance by BSO musicians against the backdrop of the Baltimore skyline at the LB Skybar, which is on the 19th floor of the Lord Baltimore Hotel. It will take place on Oct. 11 from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.
The BSO performers will be:
- Rene Shapiro and Matt Barker, trumpet
- Beth Graham, French horn
- Jeremy Buckler, trombone

“We are incredibly excited to bring this unique musical experience to our LB Skybar in partnership with the world-class musicians of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra,” said Sheila Wiegandt, managing director of the Lord Baltimore Hotel, in a statement. “This event is a perfect blend of culture, community, and the vibrant energy that defines Baltimore. Symphony in the Sky is just one of the many ways we continue to showcase the best that our city has to offer, all while providing an unforgettable experience for our guests.”
Tickets for Symphony in the Sky can be purchased for $10 per person by clicking this link. Those who dine at the LB Tavern before the event, however, can enjoy the performance free of charge with the presentation of a restaurant receipt.
In the event of inclement weather, Symphony in the Sky will be moved to the hotel’s lobby.
The Lord Baltimore Hotel is recognized as the “Best City Center Historic Hotel” by Historic Hotels of America, and as one of the “10 Best Historic Hotels” by USA Today. The hotel boasts at least 2,500 pieces of artwork and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It hosts an annual Couture Tree Competition and exhibition from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, and has hosted events like Night of 100 Elvises and participated in National Ghost Hunt Day.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs for more than 275,000 people every year throughout the state of Maryland. Jonathon Heyward is the BSO’s music director, making history as the orchestra’s first Black music director and the youngest of a major orchestra in the United States. His tenure began with the 2023/24 season, taking the reins from Marin Alsop. Alsop made history as well, as the first woman to win the Koussevitzky Prize for conducting and the first conductor awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. She was the first woman to lead a major American orchestra.
