Disclaimer:

Where will this season’s concerts take place?
This season’s concerts will take place at venues across the D.C. region. We’ll be returning to some familiar spaces, such as the Music Center at Strathmore. For the first time, we’ll be performing at Lisner Auditorium (The George Washington University), Cramton Auditorium (Howard University), and DAR Constitution Hall.
