2026 School Concert

Take a journey beyond the classroom with the 2026 School Concert, an immersive symphonic adventure designed for young listeners aged 5 and up. Hosted by the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra at Maryland Hall, this program transports elementary and middle‑school students through the cosmos under the baton of Conductor José‑Luis Novo. Featuring a dynamic blend of music and multimedia, the concert delivers star‑starved spectacles—from the lyrical sweep of Bedřich Smetana’s “The Moldau” to the celestial grandeur of Gustav Holst’s “Neptune,” “Mars,” “Jupiter,” and “Mercury” from *The Planets*. Add the thrilling, action‑packed Jonathan Composed “Music from Apollo 13” (arranged by Moss) and John Williams’s iconic “Adventures on Earth” from *E.T.* the Extra‑Terrestrial*, and you have a space‑themed odyssey that sparks curiosity and inspires a lifelong love of music. With two performances available, this is the perfect field‑trip consultation for schools looking to fuse education, entertainment, and imagination on the school day.
