An Evening of Music and Conversation with National Symphony Orchestra & Washington National Opera Musicians
About
Experience an intimate evening of beautiful classical music—and meet the world-class musicians behind it. This event is presented in partnership with Save Our Symphonies (SOS) , a Washington, DC volunteer initiative dedicated to supporting and sustaining world-class live classical music in our community. Join select members of the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) and Washington National Opera (WNO) for an interactive musical salon at the Hill Center on Capitol Hill. Through live performance and conversation, musicians will share both their artistry and their personal perspectives on this pivotal moment for Washington’s cultural community. More than a concert, this salon offers a chance to connect directly with the artists and gain insight into the challenges and opportunities facing the NSO and WNO—and why audience attendance remains one of the most meaningful ways to support live classical music. Following the performance, attendees are invited to a candid Q&A with the musicians. Topics may include the current landscape for the orchestras, the impact of venue uncertainty and audience engagement, as well as the performers’ own musical journeys, instruments, careers, and experiences performing at the highest level.
