After a successful, quickly arranged concert for the community performed outside Meyerhoff Symphony Hall last week after riots erupted in response to Freddie Gray's death, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is taking its musical message into the heart of West Baltimore with a "Music for Peace" concert on Saturday.
BSO music director Marin Alsop will conduct members of the Baltimore Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestras, OrchKids, Peabody Institute, Baltimore School for the Arts and musicians from City College at a church near Mondawmin Mall, a major scene of violence last week.
