• Peripatetic National Symphony Orchestra Opens Season at Music Center at Strathmore (symphony.org) — The National Symphony Orchestra has kicked off its 96th season at the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, bringing a touring-style schedule to six Washington-area halls. Local concertgoers can expect rich programs mixing new works like Carlos Simon's "Monuments" with familiar ballet suites by Tchaikovsky and Respighi, all under Gianandrea Noseda's direction.
   

• District Defiance (americantheatre.org) — Round House Theatre in Bethesda reports its four highest-grossing seasons ever, even as D.C.-area stages navigate political tensions, leadership changes, and funding challenges. Local theatergoers can expect more new work and politically engaged programming, including shows that treat performance as a form of civic conversation. The piece also surveys how neighboring companies are balancing controversy, activism, and artistic risk.
