                                Local Concerts and Performances 

                                Washington, D.C. is richly blessed by the number of high level performing groups based in and around the region. On any given night, concert goers can choose from several entertainment options, ranging from chamber music, to jazz, to full symphonic presentations, to folk music. Any student and his or her family should make attendance at local performances a regular part of their musical education. Listed below are just of the few organizations in the area dedicated to bringing fantastic live music to audiences. Make a regular habit of scanning the papers for concerts which may be of interest to you in a variety of settings. Most importantly, take the time to explore the ticketing options for each group. In many cases you will find reduced rate or even free tickets for children and sometimes adults.  Don't let price be an excuse not to attend!
