National Philharmonic Tickets

The National Philharmonic has anchored classical music in the Washington, D.C. area for decades, built around a resident orchestra and chorale that regularly draws guest soloists of real stature. The 2026-27 season launches a new Beethoven piano sonata cycle from pianist Brian Ganz, following his sixteen-year run through the complete works of Chopin. The year spans full orchestral concerts, Handel's Messiah, and a choral premiere that closes the season. Find tickets for National Philharmonic at Event Tickets Center.

National Philharmonic Tour Dates

The 2026-27 season opens at Music Center at Strathmore in September 2026 with a program pairing Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 with Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto, featuring pianist Inon Barnatan, and continues through the year with stops that include Handel's Messiah in December and a season finale on May 8, 2027. A fall program built around Arturo Márquez's Danzón No. 2 stands as one of the season's more colorful stops between the bigger choral programs. Every performance stays at the same hall, the orchestra's home for the past two decades.

National Philharmonic Setlist and Concert Info

At Strathmore in 2025, National Philharmonic opened a program titled Celebration: Coleridge-Taylor and Tchaikovsky with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Toussaint L'Ouverture, followed by the Ballade for Violin and Orchestra with violinist Curtis Stewart, before closing with a Tchaikovsky symphony. The concert marked the release of the orchestra's album of Coleridge-Taylor's music. Expect a similar structure this season: a shorter contemporary or rediscovered work up front, a featured soloist showcase in the middle, and a full symphonic closer that gives the orchestra room to stretch.
