One of our great regional symphonies, the Capital City Symphony, will be performing this Sunday, March 20 at 5:00 at the Atlas Performing Arts Center on H Street, NE.
Why should you go? Mainly because the Capital City Symphony is a quality organization that has put together an intriguing program for Sunday's concert:
- Copland, Fanfare for the Common Man
- Brahms, Tragic Overture
- Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5
But another reason to attend is simply to support a regional group like Capital City, one that keeps music alive and affordable for people in our neighborhoods and communities. Just as local community theaters bring quality plays to people who might not be inclined to pay $40+ to see a show downtown, local classical groups help to keep the music alive by introducing it to new audiences throughout the DC area. And these groups provide a platform for talented non-professionals – our neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and friends – to showcase their skills and abilities.
By attending a Capital City Symphony concert, you're also supporting the Atlas Performing Arts Center, the only community-based performing arts center in Washington. Since 2006, the Atlas has been bringing arts performances to the revitalized area along H Street, NE.
Tickets are $25 and available through their website and at the Atlas box office.
