A double dose of Tchaikovsky was played for audiences at our second concert of the year. We opened the evening with the classic holiday favorite "The Nutcracker Suite," and closed the concert with the masterful and epic "1812 Overture."

Beatles & Beethoven

George Washington Masonic National Memorial Theater

Two musical juggernauts from wildly different time periods and genres collided in SONOVA's 7th Annual Gala Concert and Silent Auction. SONOVA was joined onstage by world renowned pianist Sofya Gulyak to perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. After intermission, the orchestra delighted the audience with instrumental covers of some of the greatest songs ever written by arguably the best rock band of all time, the Beatles. Along with the food and drinks, silent auction, and reception in the grand hall of the GW Memorial, it was an incredible event.
