The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight at The Lyric: Baltimore, Dec. 4
The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight takes familiar rock and metal hits and reframes them through a classical-music collective. For its Friday, Dec. 4, 2026, date at The Lyric, the announcement offers a roster of source artists rather than a song list; doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. concert.
A broad catalogue, without a track list
The Baltimore announcement names Metallica, Guns N' Roses, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Linkin Park, AC/DC and The Cranberries, among others. The spread of names signals a program drawing on more than one band’s catalog, but it does not establish which songs will be played or in what order.
That distinction matters if you are considering the concert for a particular favorite: an artist’s appearance in the announcement is a repertoire clue, not confirmation of a specific track. The more firmly stated draw is the change in musical frame—rock and metal material presented through a classical approach.

The age guidance is the organizer’s recommendation
The organizer recommends the show for ages 14 and up, while allowing younger children at a parent or guardian’s discretion; it says the performance is not suitable for toddlers or infants. This is general organizer guidance, not a Lyric-specific age rule.
The organizer’s FAQ also warns that its live shows can include loud music, flashing lights and atmospheric effects, and says strobe lighting is used. The FAQ does not specify the lighting cues for this Baltimore date. It advises people with epilepsy or sensitivity to flashing lights to take precautions.

Accessible entrance and seating
The accessible line is at the far-left door outside the box office. Once inside, a ramp to the left bypasses the steps; the venue directs theatergoers to enter through the historic Gutman Lobby. Aisles run on both sides of the Orchestra seating. An elevator near Guest Services connects Orchestra and Box seating with the Grand Tier and Balcony; accessible restrooms are on the first and second floors.
Accessible seating is limited and first-come, first-served. The Lyric asks guests to contact the box office at 410-900-1150 to discuss arrangements and says requests for accessible seating should be made at least two weeks in advance.
Complimentary assisted-listening devices are available at Guest Services in exchange for a driver’s license or government-issued ID. Guests who need a wheelchair escort to and from their seats can ask there; the service is first-come, first-served, and the venue holds an ID while its wheelchair is in use. The wheelchair cannot stay with the guest during the event.
Requests for an American Sign Language interpreter should be made at least two weeks ahead; requests with less notice are not guaranteed. Trained service animals are welcome on a leash or in a harness and must stay in the guest’s seating area, not the aisle. Other animals are not permitted.
