Music & Well-Being Society
“The Music & Well-Being Society provides organizational and financial support to enhance the physical and mental health of our regional community through music.“
The MSO nurtures the four corners of a whole person: social, mental, spiritual, and physical well-being. Through our adult lectures and children’s educational programs, we inspire minds of all ages. Our ensembles bring joy to nursing homes and adult centers as we utilize music as an adjunct to health. These are just a few of the many ways we enrich our community.
The following supporters have made a meaningful contribution to the Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s Music & Well-Being Society, enabling us to continue enriching lives and promoting overall well-being through the transformative power of music.
