Baltimore Counts Exhibit November 3-21, 2010 at The Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall--Opening Reception November 3

Baltimore Counts! written by Siri Lise Doub and Wayne Arnold is a children’s counting book with illustrations by local artists. 100% of the proceeds from the book are going to ORCHkids! Some of the original artwork from the book will be in a silent auction at the November 3 Exhibit. Book inquiries:hollandbrownbooks.com

ORCHkids will make a brief appearance and perform a number just as they recently did for 60 minutes!

The Baltimore Counts! Exhibit is designed to raise awareness and support for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s program Orchkids.  Orchkids is a program during and after school where children are mentored and taught to play an instrument(s).  Ultimately by the end of the program (Pre-k through 5th grade) they will have something that will change their life…open doors for them and give them a solid foundation for a successful future.Orchkids has given families of these children, Peabody professors, members of the BSO and the Baltimore community a common goal of hope and opportunity for inner- city children.  Every child should be given a chance and ORCHkids is providing this for them!
