Pianist Garrick Ohlsson returns to play Rachmaninoff’s scintillating Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

“... director Jules Rosskam has crafted one of the most moving documentaries seen in quite some time ... An essay film par excellence ... PATERNAL RITES fully transcends the world of documentary ... Gorgeously crafted and emotionally devastating ... A breathtaking experience that finds a level of intimacy few films are ever willing to ... simply a film unlike any you’ve ever seen before.”

This race conversation will trace the legacy of Jim Crow as revealed in objects used to dehumanize African Americans and will then connect this legacy to contemporary circumstances in Baltimore and beyond. This event is in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Africana Studies.
In conjunction with the Jim Crow Black Memorabilia exhibition, Hateful Things.
As, Not For is an incomplete historical survey of work created by African-American graphic designers over the last century. These practitioners are absent in too many classroom lectures, and their methods mostly invisible or uncredited in the field. This exhibition aims to promote the inclusion of neglected Black designers and their developed methodologies and challenge the ubiquity of White and anti-Black aesthetics in our designed world.
Baltimore's music scene deserves some celebration. Over the past decade, it has evolved into a dynamic, diverse, and potent melting pot of musical talent, sealing Charm City's status as a music city to watch. And we couldn't agree more. That's why we dedicated our May issue entirely to covering some of the Baltimore’s most exceptional musicians who create the soundtrack of this city. And since you can't have a Music issue without a party, why not throw a big one?
One of the last vestiges of vaudeville took place from 1917 to 1920, when actor Raymond Hitchcock (aka “Hitchy”) organized a series of musical revues featuring up-and-coming young composers of the era, including Jerome Kern, E. Ray Goetz and Cole Porter. The shows, known as “Hitchy-Koos,” played successfully on Broadway and even went on a national tour.
The wildly popular Mortified, produced by Alex Hewett and Adam Ruben, stars everyday adults sharing their most embarrassingly real teenage diary entries, poems, love letters, lyrics, and locker notes ... in front of total strangers.
Hailed as a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek, this is a comic excavation of the strange and extraordinary things we created as teens. Buy your tickets online in advance to make sure you can see the show. Mortified shows often sell out!
SAT SEP 22 | 6PM & 9PM | $20, $17 Members (+$3 At the door)

Baltimoreans celebrated atop Federal Hill when we ratified the U.S. Constitution. We used it to defend the city from the British in the War of 1812 and to make sure we stayed in the Union in the Civil War. We have even tunnelled under it to quarry minerals. Join us on a tour of Federal Hill and the neighborhood around it to learn about this waterfront community’s rich history, including stops at one of the last wooden houses in the city, the oldest house in Federal Hill, and the wonderful alley houses along Churchill Street.
Mark Bradford’s exhibition for the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale was born out of his longtime commitment to the inherently social nature of the material world we all inhabit.

The story of the Port of Baltimore is a continuing tale of stevedores and ship captains, supporting businesses and industries, moving bananas and bulldozers. What started with expectations of tobacco trade gave way to grain as a dominant cargo, small coastal sailing vessels yielded to iron hulled steamers and now today’s massive trans-ocean cargo carriers. Through it all, the Port of Baltimore has been an economic hub for the city and has shaped virtually all aspects of it, from where we live to what we eat and how we work to when we retire.
