Maryland Winds – In a Nutshell
01/25/2026 to 01/25/2026
Guilford Park High School Auditorium, 8500 Ridgelys Run Road, Jessup, MD 20794Our concert theme is the title of a four-movement suite by the renowned Percy Grainger. It also serves as a double entendre, with the veritable cornucopia of repertoire presented in this program. Featured clarinetists Tom Puwalski and Donna Noyes offer a delightful interplay, with each showcasing their own sense of style in Concertino for Jazz and Legit Clarinets. Also featured is Trittico, written for William Revelli and his University of Michigan Symphony Band, The Eternal Light, which remembers the self-sacrifice of the four U.S. Army chaplains, who, as their ship was sinking off Greenland, gave away their lifejackets on February 3, 1943. Selections from Ralph Vaughan Williams, Dana Wilson, and Hoagy Carmichael complete the program. Maryland Winds is an ensemble of professional musicians in the greater Baltimore–Washington, DC, area. Most are current or past performers with the premier military bands, in major symphony orchestras, or freelancers. Many are also active music educators in schools and private studios.

Wilde Lake Interfaith Center, 10431 Twin Rivers Road, Columbia, MD 21044While many jazz lovers instantly recognize the Isham Jones hit Woodchopper’s Ball, they don’t know that a band went along with it.

Jim Rouse Theatre, 5460 Trumpeter Rd, Columbia, MD 21044Join us for an evening of musical connections that ripple across centuries! Like waves lapping against distant shores, this program traces how ideas, inspirations, and musical innovations flow from one generation to the next. We’ll follow the currents from a poet’s opium dream to a composer’s namesake, from Scottish seas to Bach’s resurrection, proving that in music, what goes around comes around—sometimes in gloriously unexpected ways.

Rhythms of Renewal
03/14/2026 to 03/14/2026
Jim Rouse Theatre, 5460 Trumpeter Rd, Columbia, MD 21044Join us to explore what it means to start again. This concert celebrates renewal in three distinctly different flavors: the ancient ritual kind (complete with orgiastic dancing), the literal environmental kind (with crystal glasses and compressed air cans), and the bittersweet nostalgic kind (looking backward while moving forward). From pagan revelry to renewable energy to a composer’s final farewell, these works prove that rhythm itself is an act of renewal—each beat a small resurrection, each dance a defiant assertion that life goes on. For more information, please go to: https://columbiaorchestra.org/classical-series/rhythms-of-renewal/. Tickets are on sale for $26 and can be purchased here: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=278886. If you need an assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@columbiaorchestra.org
