BaltiQWERT #17
Gilbert & Sullivan Sing
Baltimore, Maryland
November 16, 2019
The works of W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan (known as “G&S”) have been famous in the English-speaking (and singing) world since the initial collaboration of the two in 1871. Generations of families, professionals, and theater-lovers have performed the G&S comic operas.

Yesterday I had the privilege of spending the entire day at MICA, Maryland Institute College of Art watching and listening to 6,0 or more, Gilbert and Sullivan singers perform.
MICA in Baltimore
The room was filled with fun laughter and song. This show was produced by Michael Blum and Erica Rome and this was BaltiQWERT #15.

baltiqwert: A Proud Mother
- 11/11/17 10:26 PM
This has been a wonderful day watching and listening to 40+ singers, from Maryland, DC, NJ, NY, CT, Ohio, NH, NC and Ga, performing Gilbert & Sullivan.
This kind of Gilbert and Sullivan singing get-together is called a “QWERT,”
so they call this BaltiQWERT because it’s in Baltimore.
This was the 13th BaltiQWERT gathering and the first time it was held at MICA.
My beautiful and talented daughter was the pianist along with Andi Stryker-Rodda.
Casting and program by Michael Blum.
