Arts critic Tim Smith featured several Baltimore ensembles, founded and run by Peabody students and alumni, in an article in The Baltimore Sun, “A ‘classical revolution’ is spreading in Baltimore: Local ensembles are taking traditional music into non-traditional spaces.” The groups included were Classical Revolution, directed by Rafaela Dreisin (MM ’10, Trumpet); Federal Hill Parlor Series, founded by Megan Ihnen (MM ’09, Voice); Vivre Musicale, a performance group with several Peabody alumni; outerspaces, with DMA candidate James Young as artistic director; and Occasional Symphony, founded by MM candidates Norman Huynh and Stephen Mulligan.
