The National Symphony Orchestra was thrilled to present In Your Neighborhood in March 2023! We are incredibly grateful to our partners who invited us into their spaces and welcomed us into the community, the NSO musicians and guest collaborators who brought the joy of live music to audiences, and our supporters across the city who helped make this program possible.

From March 7-13, the NSO presented a week full of dynamic chamber and full orchestra concerts in collaboration with 23 venues in the ‘Edge of the City’ neighborhoods. This year, we met with local leaders to discover what the needs of Ward 5 were, and how we could bring music to those communities, while being respectful of the rich heritage, arts, and culture already present.
