Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's OrchKids to Perform for Ravens Today

Following the Baltimore Ravens' Friday (November 8) afternoon practice, 15 children from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra's youth program OrchKids will perform for the team.

Immediately after the performance, the Ravens and BSO will make an announcement regarding the team's nationally televised Thanksgiving Night game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 28.

OrchKids is a year-round, after-school music program designed to create social change and nurture promising futures for youth in Baltimore City neighborhoods. In partnership with the Baltimore City Public School system, OrchKids provides students with instruments, academic instruction, positive role models, field trips, daily healthy meals and more. Six years ago, the program was created by Music Director Marin Alsop, and it now serves more than 600 students spanning pre-kindergarten through eighth grade across five Title I schools in West and East Baltimore.
