Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts announces a second set of performances to complete the 2014 Summer season. Wolf Trap offers unparalleled diversity in programming in a stunning natural environment, and builds upon its founding principles of celebrating music while nurturing the next generation through education.

"We are proud to present an extraordinary season filled with truly iconic artists," said Arvind Manocha, Wolf Trap Foundation President and CEO. "Wolf Trap is the only place in the country where you can find Yo-Yo Ma, Robyn + Röyskopp, Lionel Richie, The Band Perry, and Josh Groban on the same season calendar and that's worth celebrating. Our patrons have a dizzying array of options to choose from and we look forward to sharing many amazing days and nights of music together at America's only National Park for the Performing Arts."

Twenty-two new acts have been added to the lineup, including debuts by 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards' Top Vocal Group The Band Perry, versatile singer-songwriter and musician Sara Bareilles, Scandinavian electronic artists Robyn + Röyksopp, progressive acoustic group Nickel Creek, impassioned pop-rock quartet The Fray, and raucous stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan.

Highlights of the season include a performance by the National Symphony Orchestra with Ben Folds, the former front man and pianist of alternative rock group Ben Folds Five; and the Wolf Trap debut of Jennifer Nettles, lead singer of the country group Sugarland.

The 2014 schedule also features the American Idol Live! Tour 2014, California rockers the Counting Crows, a co-bill with singer-songwriters Gavin DeGraw and Matt Nathanson, and the rumba guitar Latin duo Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Wolf Trap's summer calendar also features dozens of events for children and families, including the hit contemporary music group The Fresh Beat Band Live In Concert! and an acrobatic animalistic adventure by Cirque Dreams, titled Jungle Fantasy. In addition, Children's Theatre-in-the-Woodshosts a full season of award-winning children's programs showcasing music, dance, puppetry, and storytelling. For the full schedule of family-friendly performances at Wolf Trap, please visitwolftrap.org/family.
