No Man's Land, by Harold Pinter

May 2 through May 25

Three generations of WSC Avant Bard Artistic Directors converge for this Harold Pinter favorite, an acting vehicle of stunning depth and resonance.

WSC Artistic Director Emeritus Christopher Henley teams up with his predecessor, Brian Hemmingsen, to star in this play of wit, deceit, and the battle between memory and imagination. The production has been staged by new Artistic Director Tom Prewitt. WSC Avant Bard Acting Company Member Frank Britton and local favorite Bruce Rauscher round out the cast.

Capital City Symphony: Seamless Symphony

The Capital City Symphony is excited to once again participate in the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival: Creating Connection through Innovative Art.

SEAMLESS SYMPHONY

Sunday, February 24 at 5:00pm

at the Atlas Performing Arts Center

1333 H Street NE, Washington, DC

Three contemporary composers respond to classical symphonic selections to create a continuous musical dialogue of past and present.

Four world premieres and three of your favorite symphonic movements, all woven together in a continuous concert experience!

Experience Brahms, Beethoven and Mozart in a whole new way when four contemporary works by Evan Meier, Alexandra T. Bryant and Tomek Regulski surround performances of classic symphonic movements. The composers were asked to begin their piece in the style of the classic, then move into their own musical voice, then segue into the style of the classic to follow, creating a single "Seamless Symphony." 

This world premiere concert, conceived and directed by CCS Associate Conductor John Devlin, promises to be an innovative flowing dialogue across time and musical style.

$20/$15
For ages 8+
