NSO @ ECHOSTAGE W/ CHRISTYLEZ BACON, WYTOLD, & DJ STYLUS (STEVEN REINEKE, CONDUCTOR)

Led by Principal Pops Conductor Steven Reineke, the NSO collaborates with three Washington artists at EchoStage, D.C.’s newest and largest nightlife concert venue. DJ Stylus, dubbed “The Vibe Conductor” by his fans, launches the action with his self-described “party rocking philosophy.”

Bach and Pachelbel then meet Christylez Bacon and Wytold. Christylez Bacon, a Grammy®-nominated musician “whose sound lives at the intersection of soul, hip-hop, and jazz” (Washington Post), and Wytold, performer extraordinaire on the electric six-stringed cello, also bring some of their original compositions to the NSO.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with DJ Stylus; the NSO and guests begin at 8:30 p.m.
