Artists

Elizabeth Schulze

Conductor

A conductor leading the Maryland Symphony Orchestra through a season of American and Shakespearean showpieces.

In short

Elizabeth Schulze is a conductor scheduled to lead the Maryland Symphony Orchestra across multiple 2026-2027 programs, including concerts centered on American composers, Shakespeare-inspired orchestral works, holiday music, and string repertoire. This entry reflects only the appearances listed in our directory.

On the podium

Across this season's programs, Elizabeth Schulze leads music built around vivid, recognizable American and theatrical repertoire. Expect Gershwin's bright, jazz-inflected concert opener, Barber's lyrical and technically demanding Violin Concerto, and Copland's Symphony No. 3, a large-scale work that closes with the famous "Fanfare for the Common Man" theme woven into the finale. A Shakespeare-themed program brings together orchestral scenes meant to evoke specific plays, from Tchaikovsky's brooding Hamlet to Mendelssohn's light-footed Midsummer Night's Dream music and Prokofiev's dramatic Romeo and Juliet. A holiday concert and a strings-focused program, featuring Jessie Montgomery's energetic Starburst alongside Bach, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky, round out the season, suggesting a conductor comfortable moving between orchestral showpieces, concerto accompaniment, and intimate string writing.
