Review: AOIFE O'DONOVAN & BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN WITH THE NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA at Kennedy Center

Maestro Steven Reineke never ceases to amaze me with the wide range of artists he brings to DC to play with YOUR National Symphony Orchestra (NSO). In the past he’s featured everything from such Broadway stars as Norm Lewis and Megan Hilty to Grammy winning Latin performers Ozomatli. He always introduces his audiences to music they might not be familiar with, and I very much appreciate that both as a reviewer and as an audience member.
