Most of these concert series run from June through August 2010. All are free and open to the public. Except for the Carter Barron concerts, none require tickets. All are outdoor concerts except for those on the Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage. For performances held in grassy areas (Fort Dupont, Washington National Zoo, National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden), concert-goers may want to bring blankets or lawn chairs. Check websites for updated schedules.
