Music Celebrations Presents
Capital Orchestra Festival
Washington, D.C.
May 8, 2011

Kennedy Center

Music Celebrations International is pleased to present the official Capital Orchestra Festival. This music event will take place in the Concert Hall of Washington, D.C.’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Four orchestras from across North America will be specially selected to perform a stand-alone, featured concert in this historic performance venue.

Washington, D.C. is a town of much renown: it is a government town, a company town, a scandalous town and the political capital of the world. But Washington also has another significant distinction – it is a musical town. In a city that claims Duke Ellington, Pearl Bailey, Jelly Roll Morton and Shirley Horn, it is expected that jazz not only be appreciated, but showcased. John Philip Sousa, “The March King”, was a native of D.C. and conducted the U.S. Marine Band. The city’s proximity to the Appalachian Mountains led to bluegrass and country first finding a large forum in the Washington, D.C. area. Opera and classical music is the entertainment for dignitaries, diplomats, the sophisticated and the romantic.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is a world-renowned performing arts complex on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. It opened in 1971 as a living memorial to the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. It is often referred to as the "National Center for the Performing Arts," serving as the home of the National Symphony, Washington Ballet, Washington National Opera, and the Washington Performing Arts Society.
