We are thrilled to present an 19th year of the world’s best music performed by the world’s best musicians, right here in the Washington DC area! We are so grateful to our loyal fans and especially our season ticket holders. This year’s season, “A Celebration of music from Europe to the Americas” includes music from Ecuador, Paris, Broadway and more. Our season ticket will be available in July for best value and confirmed availability!
As with the last few seasons, we will continue to provide a superb-quality view-at-home option for your convenience. This is a great benefit for ticket purchasers and for those who cannot attend in person.
We hope you will join us and experience the warm connection to NCE and to the best classical music in the world!
