Maryland Hall

Join the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra as they perform the last concert of Season 62!
Music Program:
J. Haydn Symphony No. 104 in D Major “London”
Anna Clyne This Midnight Hour
Sibelius Symphony No. 2 in D major op. 43
<a href="https://annapolissymphony.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0S1R00000EDmILUA1" role="link" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click Here for Tickets</a>
This Midnight Hour revisits themes presented earlier in the ASO’s Season 62: identity, freedom, community, and connection to our homeland.
Franz Joseph Haydn spent most of his life in a rural area on the Austria-Hungary border, making music for nobility but hoping for recognition as an important composer. He found this respect in England, a land that deeply appreciated his music and where he composed twelve symphonies, all immensely successful.
Anna Clyne, writing nearly 250 years after Haydn, is a composer from the United Kingdom who’s worked as composer-in-residence across Europe and America and now lives in New York, brings forth the terroir of a moment and place in her This Midnight Hour.
Sibelius composed music that spoke to freedom, independence, and cultural preservation, unintentionally becoming widely regarded as his country’s greatest composer. His music is often credited with helping Finland develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia. Join us for the last of our Masterworks performances, one that is sure to surprise, delight, and move you!

Bacon Ridge Natural Area, Hawkins Road Trailhead, Crownsville, Maryland

<h4>Protect the Health of YOUR Local Forest: Join Scenic Rivers Land Trust at Bacon Ridge Natural Area in Crownsville to spend a morning removing harmful invasive plants from along the trails!</h4>
Scenic Rivers’ Healthy Forests Program engages community volunteers to help protect the long-term vitality of our largest conservation easement located within Bacon Ridge Natural Area.
Our May 2024 workday will focus on plants that are easily visible in late winter/early spring. These aggressive invaders threaten vegetation at all levels of the forest from the ground up into the forest canopy.
<h5>Event Details</h5>
Volunteers will be working on designated trail sections to remove specific invasive plant species.
Volunteers will be trained in how to identify and remove these plants.
Work gloves and tools can be provided by Scenic Rivers, though volunteers are welcome to bring their own gear.
To participate, volunteers must:
<ul><li>Be 16 years or older to attend without a supervising adult. Volunteers age 10 to 15 may attend with an accompanying adult(s) to supervise work;</li><li>Be able to hike up to 1 mile to get to designated work areas.</li></ul>
We must have at least 5 registered volunteers for the workday to proceed. So, be sure to invite some friends!
Controlling invasive species infestations is a big job and we’ll be happy to have as much help as possible!
