Free concerts
One of the best things about Washington, DC is the abundance of free cultural activities. The Smithsonian museums are free, and the National Gallery of Art offers an abundance of seasonal musical offerings. Friday evenings in the summer bring hot jazz to the Scultpure Garden while Jazz on Ice during the winter is a great opportunity to strap on your skates and enjoy some cool jazz. In between there's Jazz Brunch (and if you don't love brunch, you have no business with the Happy Funtime Friend Service).
It's not all about the jazz though. For the 64th year the National Gallery of Art presents their Sunday evening concert series. It's free (really free, not you have to buy a ticket through Ticketmaster and still pay a service fee free), first-come, first-seated basis. Seating starts at 6 p.m., concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. The slate is generally classical and often coordinated with the current exhibits in the Gallery. Concert notes are available on line. This Sunday is the second week of the season and brings the Beaux Arts Trio with a program of Martinu, Beethoven, and Schubert.
