NSO at Union Station: Come Travel the World with Us!

On Saturday, January 11th at 3:00pm and 7:00pm, the National Symphony Orchestra presents NSO at UNION STATION as part of their In Your Neighborhood program.  Led by NSO Assistant Conductor Ankush Kumar Bahl and featuring WUSA Channel 9's Andrea Roane as host, I wrote the script for this delightful "train-themed" concert. As a lover of travel and adventure, it was thrilling to explore the picturesque landscapes and history of train travel of Austria, Denmark, Finland, Mexico, Brazil, France and the U.S. through this beautiful music. I'm heading to rehearsal this afternoon and plan to take loads of pictures. Remember, this event is free and open to the public. I hope that you can attend!
