‘The LYRICist’ E-Newsletter Kicks Off February 1, New Website to Launch Spring 2022
The Lyric Baltimore has unveiled a new logo and brand identity. The Lyric, located in Baltimore’s Mt. Vernon neighborhood, has hosted comedy, concerts, and other live entertainment since 1894. The Lyric and Lyric Education – its department dedicated to local arts programming and opportunities for school-aged children— both have a new look, featuring logos and artwork intended to inject new life into the historic performing arts center.
“This ‘new’ brand image and accompanying website and communications reflect the liveliness and creativity of what we do here at the Lyric,” said Jonathan Schwartz, Executive Director of the Lyric Foundation. “The Lyric is still here, over 125 years later, and we hope to bring our image into the next generation as we continue to entertain and inspire our audience and community.”
In conjunction with the rebrand and new logo launch, the Lyric Baltimore has launched a quarterly email newsletter, The LYRICist. The e-newsletter will give an inside look at behind-the-scenes happenings at the Lyric, including interviews with senior staff, photos from the archives and historic performances at the venue in the last 100 years, educational programming, upcoming shows, video footage, and more.

The Lyric is also due to launch a completely revamped website in the coming months, featuring their new brand.
