Quinquagenerians
at 5pm on Saturday April 62024
Hirshhorn Museum’s Ring Auditorium – the Hirshhorn Museum’s 50th anniversary, which anticipates the 21st Century Consort’s 50th season in 2024-25, is the impetus for a program featuring mid-20th century classics paired with new compositions, paralleling the exhibition’s art. Over the following season, plan an extended celebration of these two redoubtable institutions of contemporary art and music reaching the half-century mark. For the Consort, it will be an opportunity to revisit works the ensemble has championed, along with new musical creations. Click here to get your free general seating ticket(s) from the Hirshhorn.
