Music of Annapolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Annapolis is the capital of Maryland, and was a major center for American music during the colonial era. At the time, it was one of the larger cities in North America, and was home to an organization called the Tuesday Club, which documented musical activity in the city in more detail than any other record of its kind.
The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1962, is a well-known organization that has hosted guests like Cuban violinist Guillermo Perch and Charlie Byrd; the Annapolis Orchestra inspired composer David Ott to create the Annapolis Overture, which debuted in 1995. The United States Naval Academy, home to a number of noted music groups, has been in Annapolis for many years; bands affiliated with the Academy include the United States Naval Academy Band, United States Navy Sea Chanters and the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs.
In the 1980s, Annapolis was home to two of the most important early emo bands, Moss Icon and the Hated.
