YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONCERT: MEET THE BAND: Sunday, April 24 at 2 p.m. (EDT), NOVA, Alexandria, Va. This year’s Young People’s Concert will lead the audience on an exploratory journey to discover all the incredible musical colors made by the concert band by introducing the instruments, their families, and all the silly, fun, and beautiful sounds they make. From woodwinds to brass to percussion, the band will demonstrate the differences in the instrumental families through such examples as Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, John Williams’ music from Star Wars, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee,” and John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” The colorful concert is catered to children and families but open and entertaining for all! The concert is free, no tickets are required. Free parking is available.
