As America's only national park for the performing arts, Wolf Trap is deeply committed to diversity in programming, access points for music lovers of all kinds, and affordability. The 16-week summer season at the 7,028-seat Filene Center is made possible through a public-private partnership between the nonprofit Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts and the National Park Service. "We look forward to summer all year here at Wolf Trap, and we couldn't wait to announce this first set of performances. Enjoying a show at Wolf Trap under the stars with friends is such a quintessential summer experience and we wanted to allow our patrons to start planning even earlier this year," said Arvind Manocha, president and CEO of Wolf Trap Foundation. "There are more shows being announced in March, so today's news is just the start of a fantastic season rollout."Ticketing and On-Sale Information
