National Symphony Orchestra Will Perform at NPR, Union Market

You’ll soon be able to hear a symphony without leaving the neighborhood.

The National Symphony Orchestra will play multiple free concerts in and near NoMa next month. Performances at NPR headquarters (1111 N. Capitol St. NE) and Union Market (1309 5th St. NE) are part of the orchestra’s NSO In Your Neighborhood series.

The seven days of performances bring chamber music into non-traditional settings, Executive Director Rita Shapiro said in a statement.

Here are highlights from the performance schedule:

• Chamber performance at NPR, Tuesday, Jan. 6, 7-8:30 p.m.

• Official kickoff event at Union Market, Wednesday Jan. 7, 7-8 p.m. RSVP required

• Chamber performance at the NoMA Business Improvement District (1200 1st St. NE), Thursday, Jan. 8, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
