The Music of Baseball

20th December 2019

The Music of BaseballThe World Series is underway. Imagine an evening where a concert hall is magically transformed into a field of dreams. Songs from the Baseball Music Project's Hall of Fame Symphony Orchestra Concert are now available from the Music Sales Group, including orchestral arrangements of songs by Fred Sturm and Maury Laws.

Select works are available for hire individually from the Music Sales Group. The full-length Hall of Fame Symphony Orchestra Concert is available for booking upon special request. Please contact Schirmer Theatrical for more information. These excellent settings are ideal for summer performances or for a fall concert in anticipation of next year's championship.
