The REACH Opening Festival at the Kennedy Center

NSO Violinist Heather LeDoux Green and NSO Bassist Paul DeNola (known as the comedic duo String Thing), and guest NSO Bassist Jeff Weisner host what should be a standard ‘Guess That Composer!’ concert. But, per usual, things go wrong: the audience mysteriously seems to recognize composers no one has heard of (Henning Kragerrud…), no one can say with a straight face (Englebert Humperdinck…), no one wants to hear (Pachebell…), and no one can tolerate after four minutes (Anton Bruckner…).

This participatory show is for people of ALL ages who love music. No actual knowledge required, though a doctorate in music history from Juilliard is recommended.
