Love to sing? Miss singing? Curious about making music with others?

The Annapolis Chorale and Live Arts Maryland—under the direction of Maestro J. Ernest Green—are welcoming new singers as we prepare for our February concert and an exciting spring season ahead. Singing in a chorale is about so much more than music; it’s community, connection, and joy.

Research shows that group singing can lift your mood, reduce stress, and even improve breathing and posture. Chorale members often say rehearsals are the highlight of their week—energizing, social, and deeply rewarding.

Whether you’re returning to singing or exploring something new, the Annapolis Chorale offers a warm, supportive place where voices—and friendships—grow together.

• Join us for the highly anticipated opening reception of SIGNS OF VIDA.

This new joint exhibition brings together Latin American artists Luis Bello (Mexico) and Mauricio Vega (Cuba), exploring risk and experimentation as powerful signs of being alive.

Pages from Vega’s independent Cuban fanzine Supervivo are shown alongside Bello’s large-scale abstract works layered with symbols, color, and emotional rhythm.

Together, the exhibition reflects on transformation, memory, and creative resistance — offering a thoughtful look at what it means to create freely and without conformity.

📍 Martino Gallery
🗓 Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 7 | 5:30–7:00 PM

• made more posters for this Event! One will be printed and available.... Friday January 23rd for the 4th AND Creative Film Club night! Featuring Carl Theodor Dreyer’s 1928 The Passion of Joan of Arc, with live musical accompaniment by Adrian Bond.

This beautiful and deeply moving classic of the silent age is an adaptation of the transcript of the trial of Joan of Arc. Dreyer’s unconventional use of facial closeup and radical rewriting of film grammar, and Renée Jeanne Falconetti’s heartbreakingly unguarded performance as Joan make this one of the most exceptional experiences of the silent era, and movies in general.

Live musical accompaniment by Adrian Bond and additional videographic atmospherics by Joseph Karr. Gallery quality posters by Joseph Karr available at the event, with proceeds benefiting AND Creative. Link in the comments.
