Performance: NSO’s The String Thing

Sitar’s Performance Series #4:

Ladies and gents, tots and teddy bears, step right up to this daring double act of classical fun! Bassist Paul DeNola and violinist Heather LeDoux Green take a break from the National Symphony Orchestra to introduce young audiences to some of the greatest music ever written. You’ll never hear a peep out of them during the concert, but with instruments in hand and several props by their side, this “silent” comedic tag-team presents a hilarious program of music and mayhem (watch out for the occasional feud!) featuring bite-sized excerpts from Mozart, Copland, Rossini, Tchaikovsky, and other famous composers.

This playful interactive performance is great for children ages 3 to 10.
