Anthony Blake Clark

Anthony Blake Clark is catalogued here as a music director appearing with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra for a run of concerts spanning holiday pops, a New Year's performance of Beethoven's Ninth, and a multimedia presentation of Holst's "The Planets." Beyond these listed appearances, we do not have verified biographical information about him.

These Baltimore Symphony Orchestra programs range from holiday pops to major concert repertoire. The New Year's concerts pair Beethoven's Elegiac Song with his Symphony No. 9, the "Choral" symphony whose final movement sets Schiller's "Ode to Joy" for vocal soloists and chorus, alongside Valerie Coleman's "Umoja: Anthem of Unity," a work built from a simple, warm melody that grows through the orchestra. The February programs open with Anna Clyne's "PIVOT," move to Mozart's last symphony, the "Jupiter," known for its intricate closing movement, and close with Holst's "The Planets," a suite portraying the mood of each planet through a full orchestra plus a wordless female chorus. A listener attending any of these evenings can expect large-scale, audience-friendly programming.
