Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.
Presented in honor of World Refugee Day in partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, at the center of the multigenerational, fun-loving animated musical, Encanto, is a refugee story—both the devastation of losing home and community—and the journey to heal, work, and thrive together to overcome the trauma of loss. Special thank you to Lin-Manuel Miranda for providing a video introduction in honor of World Refugee Day.

Kristin Hersh
Thu. May 23, 2024 6p.m.
Over the last three decades, Kristin Hersh’s prolific career has seen her heralded queen of the alternative release. She returns with a new solo record Clear Pond Road released in September 2023. The album is a cinematic road trip; it’s a series of personal vignettes from a fiercely independent auteur, plush with layers of atonal, edgy-dreamy strings and mellotron.

DCPS Festival: School Without Walls
Fri. May 24, 2024 6p.m.
The formation of the School Without Walls Instrumental Music Department in the fall of 2007, the school’s first instrumental ensembles of any type in its over 70-year history, marked a new stepping stone in the pursuit of a better education. Along with being well-rounded in rigorous academic subjects, students in the instrumental music department now have the opportunity to learn what it is like to play in a band orchestra and various other ensembles.
