Orchestra Takes Up Residency At Merriweather Post Pavilion
Merriweather spent decades trying to bring in an orchestra and has finally succeeded.
COLUMBIA, MD — Most sound checks at Merriweather Post Pavilion involve pop, rock and country music. However, the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission, which owns the venue, is expanding the lineup with an orchestra.
“While we still house the biggest names in pop music, it will now also be home for a world-class 21st-century orchestra,” Ian Kennedy, of the Downtown Columbia Arts and Culture Commission, said.
