FAES funds several musical performances for the NIH community including a concert series by the Manchester String Quartet, the National Symphony Orchestra, the UMD Quintet, and recently began contributing resources to the notable NIH Philharmonia, an all-volunteer organization founded for the purpose of bringing together the dedicated musical talent of NIH researchers and federal workers. FAES currently presents approximately 12 events per year. For more information about our musical and cultural events please see below.

Music flows in all our corridors, into patient wards, reaching those in beds who cannot come.
