Greetings!
You are invited to two fun musical events at Glen Echo Park!
Next Tuesday, Nov. 20, we are honored to co-present with the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture a fascinating concert in the park Annex (next to the Spanish Ballroom) by talented young mariachi musicians from California. Following the concert, please join us for a reception in the recital room of the Washington Conservatory at Glen Echo Park.
On Sunday, Dec. 2, we are happy to present a one-hour concert at the Park by an award-winning former WCM piano student, performing music by Mozart, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, and his own composition, too!
Musically Yours,
