“This year, the Young Musicians Series has sponsored 53 concerts in schools of this city—a gain of 21 programs over the previous year.”

In 1973, the organization received a grant from Morris Mechanic Theater through WBAL-FM and the Dance Theater of Harlem came to Baltimore for a one-week Young Audiences residency.

Young Audiences of Maryland is incorporated as Baltimore Young Audiences, Inc.

The Mayor of Baltimore proclaimed “Young Audiences Week” as the organization celebrated its first 20 years, presenting free street concerts throughout the city.

With a new name, Young Audiences of Maryland expands its repertoire beyond classical music to include a variety of genres as well as dance and theater troupes.

Schoolchildren weighed in on whether the Young Musicians Series should change its name to Young Audiences through an essay contest! The renaming of the Maryland affiliate would conform with that of the national organization.
