ASO Office Open for Remote Operations during Maryland Hall Construction

Starting May 27, 2025, Maryland Hall will embark on a three-phase series of improvements, including upgrades to the HVAC system, which require the ASO and ASA to vacate the current office space during construction.  ASO and ASA operations, including the Box Office, customer support, and community engagement efforts will proceed with administrative staff working remotely. Performances will continue in their usual locations at Maryland Hall, although events like Crescendo Club currently held in the Katcef Community Room will be relocated to a gallery space. The ASO Box Office will operate virtually during construction. In person Box Office operations will be available two hours before performances at Maryland Hall. All ticketing related questions should be directed to the Box Office through the methods listed below:

“Maryland Hall’s renovations reflect an investment in the arts in Annapolis with  this necessary modernization,” said Erica Bondarev Rapach, Executive Director of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. “Our administrative team will continue our work remotely  during the construction period, and our commitment to serving our audience members, musicians, students, community partners and supporters is unwavering. “We thank our community for their patience and support during this  time,” Rapach added. “We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Maryland Hall”
