NSO Music for Young Audiences: String Thing

• Heather LeDoux Green, violin
• Paul DeNola, double bass

Step right up—this daring double act of classical fun returns!

Attention: kids, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, rubber chickens... but especially kids and rubber chickens! This daring double act of classical fun is BACK. National Symphony Orchestra musicians—bassist Paul DeNola and violinist Heather LeDoux Green—introduce young audiences to some of the greatest music ever written. You’ll never hear a word out of them during the concert, but with instruments in hand and a trunk full of gags, this "silent" comedic tag-team presents a hilarious program of music and mayhem.

Most enjoyed by ages 3+.

Performances on Saturday, April 6 at 11am & 1:30pm, and Sunday, April 7 at 1:30pm & 4pm.

Come early for a Musical PLAYspace: Prior to each performance, the NSO Volunteer Council will hold a Musical PLAYspace in the Hall of States. Children will have the opportunity to try out the instruments they'll see played on the stage.

Stay after for a Creative Conversation: Following the performance on Saturday, April 6 at 1:30pm, young audience members can ask questions and hear stories from the show’s artists and creative team.
