On September 4, The National Symphony Orchestra returned to the NIH Clinical Center with another unforgettable performance.

Under the baton of conductor Steven Reineke, a 60-piece orchestral ensemble filled the North Atrium with an exquisite hour-long program. Featuring works by Coleridge-Taylor, Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Koussevitzky, among others.

Highlights included performances by William Gerlach and Michael Harper on trumpet, as well as a solo by Ira Gold on contrabass.

Co-presented by the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences and the NIH Clinical Center, this special event marked the 12th year of the NIH-Kennedy Center Sound Health partnership, a showcase of the powerful connection between music and well-being.
