Hundreds of Baltimore citizens gathered outside the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall on Wednesday, to attend a free open-air concert performed by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The performance was coined as a 'concert for peace,' after the city witnessed clashes following protests over the death of Freddie Gray. Violence broke out on Monday April 27, just hours after the funeral of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who died in police custody on April 19, 2015. Gray's family say he suffered a severe spinal injury, that his voice box was crushed and his neck was snapped before he went into a coma and died. Police reports indicate that these injuries were sustained after his arrest. Reacting to the heavy unrest Baltimore authorities declared a state-of-emergency, calling in the National Guard, who and imposing a week-long curfew on the city.
