NSO Music for Young Audiences: Beauty and the Beat

Explore the thrilling language of instruments.

Featuring musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra

See NSO principal second violinist Marissa Regni and NSO principal percussionist Eric Shin in an exciting new program exploring the magic created when the violin and percussion join together. Eric may have a vast array of percussion instruments, but Marissa shows how versatile the violin can be. This melodic and rhythmic ride for families proves that no matter how different the instruments are, they can come together to make some beautiful music.
