Witness the majesty and power of the Annapolis Chorale and the Annapolis Chamber Orchestra in the Ein deutches Requiem (A German Requiem) by Johannes Brahms. Brahms himself aptly referred to this as a Human Requiem. This setting of the requiem text paints the fragility, sorrow, and beauty of humanity unlike any other setting of the requiem text. This historic masterpiece will be paired with shorter chorale works that speak to our shared humanity. Join us for an evening of compelling choral singing that is sure to touch your soul!
Live Arts Maryland continues the second half of its 2022-2023 season with two Broadway in Annapolis performances of “The Fantasticks” on Friday and Saturday, February, 17 and 18 at 8:00pm, at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. Since its opening in May 1960 at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York and its subsequent revival at the Snapple Theatre Center, “The Fantasticks” has become the longest running production of any kind in the history of American theatre. The Fantasticks is an unusual love story set about by two meddling parents and features the iconic song “Try to Remember.”

“Daddy Long Legs” is a show that I have wanted to do for several years since I first came across it and in fact it was being planned for later in the spring for the Live Arts Studio.
In addition to responsible in person seating at MD Hall, we are offering the option to “Live Stream” this concert for both the Friday (2/4) and Saturday (2/5) performances.
“Brigadoon” will be presented later in the spring when we can gather in larger numbers. Please come and see “Daddy Long Legs”, it is a beautiful love story that is full of hope and optimism. Maybe it is just the show we need to see during these uncertain times.
