WASHINGTON 鈥� If you want your kids to be musical prodigies but aren’t sure if it’s worth the investment, the National Philharmonic is hosting a unique event before a Sunday concert at Strathmore.

At 3 p.m. today, famous violinist Sarah Chang 鈥� who was accepted to Julliard at age 5 鈥� will be performing alongside internationally renowned pianist Santiago Rodriguez, who’s debuting his return to the D.C. area.

But before the concert, kids can enjoy an “instrument petting zoo” from 2-2:30 p.m. They’ll have the opportunity to experiment with string, wood, brass and percussion instruments before hearing what can be done with some (or a lot) of practice.

Tickets are free for kids aged 7-17 and $25-$82 for adults. They can be purchased from .
