Next week is the second installment of the SHIFT Festival, a co-presentation of the Kennedy Center and Washington Performing Arts. The event celebrates American orchestras by bringing several of them to the nation’s capital to present concerts, education opportunities, and other events at venues around the city.

The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra kicks off the festivities 8 p.m. April 10 with a concert in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. Miguel Harth-Bedoya conducts a suite from Bel Canto, Jimmy López’s 2015 opera, and Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade, featuring the impeccable violinist Augustin Hadelich as soloist. For RIFT, a symphonic ballet by Anna Clyne, six dancers from Texas Ballet Theater will share the stage. kennedy-center.org; 202-467-4600.
