This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the Kennedy Center/National Symphony Orchestra National Trustees Summer Music Institute (SMI), a four-week festival of orchestral and chamber music for young people ages 15–20 at the Kennedy Center.

Musicians from 19 states, Puerto Rico, and 5 countries are participating in this year’s SMI. The program consists of orchestral and chamber music coached by NSO and Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra musicians; conducting and master classes; private lessons with NSO and KHOCO musicians; a side-by-side rehearsal with the NSO; and enrichment sessions concentrating on music literature, health and wellness, entrepreneurship, and Citizen Artistry.

This performance is the second of two full orchestra concerts performed by SMI musicians.
