National Symphony Orchestra

Founded in 1931, Washington D.C.’s National Symphony Orchestra has always been committed to artistic excellence and music eduction. In 1986, the National Symphony became an artistic affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where it performs year-round. The NSO has a rich history of recording, dating back to award-winning projects from the early 1970s with past music directors Antal Dorati, Mstislav Rostropovich and Leonard Slatkin, and the Orchestra’s new self-produced label celebrates this legacy and looks to the future with new recordings under the baton of its seventh music director, Gianandrea Noseda.
