Baltimore Musicales at The Inter-Faith Chapel
The singers and pianists of Baltimore Musicales will serve as Artists in Residence at The Inter-Faith Chapel for the 2024-25 season, beginning in February 2024 and continuing through April 2025. Historically, an artist residency supports a collaboration between artists and a hosting institution or organization, whereby new creative ideas are explored, relationships with the surrounding community are strengthened, and artists are given time and space to develop their work.
Baltimore Musicales looks forward to presenting new programs of art songs, opera, musical theater, and vocal chamber music at The Inter-Faith Chapel this coming season. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2014, Baltimore Musicales first began performing at the Inter-Faith Chapel in 2022 and remains committed to preserving the art of the song recital, providing performance opportunities for outstanding regional artists, and building community through shared musical experiences.

Sundays with Fanny—Sunday, April 27, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel was an extraordinary pianist and prolific composer who was discouraged from pursuing a professional career in music because she was a woman.

This program explores works by Fanny and her musicale attendees, including Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt, and Heinrich Heine.
