Spring arts preview: Classical highlights
Anne Midgette | Updated 05/11/2012
For classical music programmers, fall is the time when you bring out the big guns, and spring is when you do more unusual programs or themed festivals. This season, this philosophy is making for a more interesting spring for Washington's classical music lovers. Whether your thing is the high classical tradition or living American composers, the area's musical offerings run the gamut -- with a particularly strong showing of exciting new-music concerts signaling that Washington may be awakening from its long sleep in the arms of musical tradition.
