The National Symphony Orchestra’s FREE annual Labor Day weekend concert returns to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol!
This year, the NSO performs classics by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, John Philip Sousa, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and more led by charismatic conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez.
The concert also features special guest beatboxer, rapper, and multi-instrumentalist Christylez Bacon—a Grammy®–nominated progressive hip hop artist and Washington, D.C. native.
A must-see celebration!
This performance is free to attend, no tickets required. Seating is first-come, first served.
Public security screening sites open at 3 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, this event will be held in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. Please check the website or NSO social media (Twitter and Instagram) for updates.
