Mission
The mission of the GBYO is to inspire and nurture the talents of students, from young children through college age, through a continuum of opportunities in music - including orchestral training, the pursuit of artistic excellence, and sharing music at the highest level through public performance, including a season finale concert at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore - yielding lifelong rewards of discipline, perseverance, responsibility to a common endeavor, and a connection to great music.

We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
