The NOI Philharmonic plays a reprise performance of Beethoven's Ninth at Washington National Cathedral! This program, which includes Jennifer Higdon's blue cathedral, features poet Tracy K. Smith's brilliant English poetry in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

When the planned celebration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 2020 was necessarily altered by COVID, NOI+F Music Director Marin Alsop had to rethink her intention of leading productions of the immortal Symphony No. 9 on six continents.

In this unique concert experience hosted by NOI+F Music Director Marin Alsop, conducting fellows take the lead in works by NOI+F composition fellows.

Ever wondered what happens in the rehearsals before the concert? Here's a unique opportunity to hear the National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic in rehearsal. Audience seating will be in the choir loft so you can hear every note!

NOI+F goes big with the return of their Music Director Marin Alsop as she helms Gustav Mahler's 19th-century monumental Symphony No. 1 in D Major.

Mei-Ann Chen, music director of the Chicago Sinfonietta, makes her NOI+F conducting debut for an evening of works rich with concept and complexity.
