WATCH: Baltimore Symphony Plays Free Outdoor Concert for ‘Peace’

Yesterday, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra put out this message on its Facebook page, inviting residents of the city to enjoy a free outdoor concert at 12 noon today, because “we could all use a little music in our lives right about now.”

Fans and members of the media posts photos of the event on Twitter:
