National Symphony Orchestra Family Concert: Halloween Spooktacular

A family-oriented Halloween concert by the National Symphony Orchestra at Lisner Auditorium in Washington, D.C. The program offers a seasonal introduction to orchestral music for younger listeners and their families.

The National Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1931, is the resident orchestra of Washington, D.C., and performs its main season at the Kennedy Center. Its music director, Gianandrea Noseda, has led the ensemble since 2017. This family concert gives the orchestra a Halloween theme, with a program designed for younger audiences and the adults who attend with them.

Lisner Auditorium, on the campus of George Washington University, hosts concerts and shows throughout the year, so this program places the orchestra in a venue other than its Kennedy Center home. The concert suits families looking for a first encounter with symphonic music in a seasonal setting, and it offers a way to hear the National Symphony Orchestra in a different room from its usual one.
