Beginning with five classical concerts in its first season, the programming of the orchestra now includes different events such as the "Masterworks series"; "MSO Pops!"; "Home for the Holidays"; "Salute to Independence", a concert at Antietam National Battlefield; "Citi Youth Concerts" and "Kinder Konzerts", directed to children. The orchestra also occasionally performs in Frostburg and Frederick, although its main concert hall is the Maryland Theatre.
