Editorial Review

Overview: The nation's performing arts center throws open its doors for a full day of free entertainment, from ballet to classical music to go-go.

Who's Playing: The National Symphony Orchestra unveils a pop program in the Concert Hall; the Suzanne Farrell Ballet performs Balanchine's "Apollo," among other works; Godfather of Go-Go Chuck Brown adds some hometown flavor with a concert under the stars; Dan Zane makes the kids go wild; Jake Shimabukuro rocks a ukulele -- there are dozens of artists taking 11 stages over 11 hours.

Beyond the Tunes: Kids can examine oboes at the NSO's "instrument petting zoo," learn to dance to Western swing and browse the Washington Opera's props and costumes.
