Bonus Podcast: 63 Years of the Annapolis Symphony and 20 Years with Maestro Novo

Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief

The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 63rd season. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. And our very own Maestro Jose-Luis Novo is celebrating an amazing 20 years with our symphony. So, it made sense to sit down and talk.

How did he get here? It was a long time coming! What does he hope to leave behind if he were to leave? What is he most proud of? How did the ASO survive COVID? Who is the better violinist? We get into it all in this fun episode! We also talk about the impact the ASO has on the community. Sure they have the performances (first one starting next week), and they do a free Pops in the parks concert on Labor Day, but did you know they perform for senior living facilities? For hospice patients? For students? Did you know they has a Youth Symphony Orchestra and an Orion Orchestra? Or that their Concertmaster is also a commercial pilot? I bet you didmn't know that the ever-popular Holiday Pops is going on the road this year. We cover a lot of ground in a half-hour. Have a listen!
