Description:

Join “The President’s Own” on Memorial Day weekend and mark the beginning of summer with the annual concert at Wolf Trap. This year’s program is once again packed with great American music, from rousing marches and patriotic classics to a dazzling tribute to Louis Armstrong and the traditional performance of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s iconic 1812 Overture. The world of Broadway will be well represented with musical selections from Leonard Bernstein’s famous West Side Story in celebration of the centennial of his birth and a musical revue from the Rodgers and Hammerstein hit Oklahoma!, which first opened to great acclaim 75 years ago. This Memorial Day musical showcase is capped with one of the best fireworks displays of the year. Don’t miss a one-of-a-kind Washington event! Free, no tickets required.
