A Christmas Carol with a Baltimore twist returns, re-imagined by Company Member and historian Laura Rocklyn. A delight for all ages, this is a giddy, warm-hearted, and fast-paced trip back to 19th-century Baltimore and Charles Dickens's classic story.

Join us at MICA's black box theatre, BBOX, for a night of performances by Ignant Exposure, Makinde, Elinor, Katyrah Love, and John Tyler.

In 1981 David DeBoy’s hit single, “Crabs for Christmas” descended on an unsuspecting Baltimore. More than 10,000 records (remember those vinyl singles?) were sold in four weeks. Since then, David has recorded two more hit albums and performed his Balto-centric songs all around the state.

Join David for this festive program! Museum members will have access to a VIP meet & greet before the concert. Seating is limited so reserve your ticket today!

Join us for world-class chamber music in Baltimore! The Candlelight Concert Society is thrilled to partner with The Peale for a new concert series, Candlelight at the Peale. Starting in December, three concerts will feature world-class, intimate chamber music and chats with artists.

These Russian-born composers charted routes of resistance and freedom that still resonate today. Tchaikovsky, secretly gay and openly enraptured with the music of the West, poured his love and anguish into the Violin Concerto that mixed Russian intensity into the impeccable traditions of the Classical masters. Stravinsky, untested and overlooked in his home country, astonished the crowds in Paris with his supernatural ballet based on the Russian fairy tales of the Firebird.
