National Symphony Orchestra tickets on sale for $11

Frederic Chopin playing the piano in Prince Radziwill's Salon, 1887/Henryk Siemiradzki and Wikimedia Commons.  At the end of the piano seated beside the standing woman is, perhaps, Prince Radziwill, looking at the viewer and bearing a strong resemblance to Congressman James Moran (D-VA). What do you think? Emanuel Ax and the National Symphony Orchestra will play Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, April 4 and April 5, 2013. 


You must purchase a minimum of three tickets at $11 each for National Symphony Orchestra performances to take advantage of this outstanding sale. No handling fee.

Deadline to purchase is February 22, 2013.

Music lovers:  How can you beat this? 

Offered are concerts on Thursday and Friday nights (no Saturdays or pops) at the Kennedy Center.

You may call the subscription office at 202-416-8500, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and talk with a human or log on, according to the card in the mail, to nationalsymphony.org/TriplePlay and order, however, just like last year, I am still (after triple plays) unable to log on.  Or find that site.  Whatever.  It's a deal which I bought last year ordering from a person.

Here are a quick calendar and programs for the remainder of the 2013 season.   Click here for more description.
