So I thought I’ll tell you a little more about the cultural attractions here in DC.

First, we got the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts where the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National Opera, and the Washington Ballet all perform. I have actually never been to a performance at the Kennedy Center, but I heard it’s an incredible experience.

Next, the United States Marine Band performs at the Marine Barracks near Capitol Hill. The famous Washington native John Phillips Sousa was the band’s director and composed many famous American songs.

In theatre, Washington hosts many theatres that perform both historic and modern American plays. The most famous of which is the historic Arena Stage.

Duke Ellington, John Coltrane and Miles Davis are just a few of the music legends who played at our very own U Street Corridor, “Washington’s Black Broadway”. Don’t forget that DC has its own music genre called go-go. Remember chuck brown’s  1979 “Busting Loose”?

Last, there is one place I can’t forget – the historic Ford’s Theatre where President Lincoln was assassinated. It is both a beautiful Museum and a bustling performance stage today.

Enjoy!
