Connie Milstein serves on the Board of Advisors of the National Symphony Orchestra.
The NSO was created in 1931 and performs today at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C.
Due to its proximity to affairs of national interest the NSO frequently participates in events which have both national as well as international importance. These performances can include performing for ceremonial state affairs, presidential inaugurations and other official holiday celebrations.
There are exactly 100 musicians in the NSO, and during their 52-week season they perform in about 175 concerts per year. In addition to their concerts which vary from classical subscription series to pop concerts, they are also engaged in extensive educational programming. Reaching out to young people from pre-school to high school, small groups of NSO members develop educational programs which collectively present up to 100 additional performances a year.
It is an honor and a privilege for Connie Milstein to be on the Board of Advisors of such an important, active and exciting endeavor as the National Symphony Orchestra.
