At Noon Friday, Fifteen Tickets Remain To National Symphony Orchestra Celebration Of Shostakovich, Aaron Copland And American Classical Music Culture
Extra! Extra! National Symphony Orchestra musicians celebrate Aaron Copland and American Classical Music, while Sharon Percy Rockefeller's Classical WETA-FM, in the Nation's Capital, celebrates Frederick the Great of Prussia and Exclusively European Classical Music!
*
Today, the National Symphony Orchestra -- by lowering remaining ticket prices to $20 -- virtually assured itself a second sold-out classical concert in a row for its 2400+ seat Concert Hall. (See yesterday's post.)
Just after noon on Friday, the complete orchestra level and box and first tiers were completely sold-out, and only about 15 tickets remained for seats in the Second Tier Center (at $45 each without the quasi-secret code, in yesterday's post; and $20 with the quasi-secret code in yesterday's post).
*
At the same time that the National Symphony Orchestra and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts are trying to affirm America's classical musical culture, Sharon Percy Rockefeller's Classical WETA-FM, in the Nation's Capital, continues to try to repress the development of American classical musical culture.
Those not fortunate to attend last night's, or tonight's, sold-out National Symphony Orchestra concerts celebrating Shostakovich and Copland, could tune in to so-called public radio, in the Nation's Capital, for the following exclusively non-American classical programming:
