Washington Performing Arts

One of the most established and honored performing arts institutions in America, 

Washington Performing Arts has engaged for more than half a century with artists, 

audiences, students, and civic life. The city is truly our stage: in venues ranging from 

concert halls and clubs to public parks, we present a tremendous range of artists and 

art forms, from the most distinguished symphony orchestras to both renowned and 

emerging artists in classical music, jazz, international genres, and more. 

Washington Performing Arts deeply values its partnerships with local organizations and other arts institutions. Through events in myriad performance venues and 

neighborhoods, Washington Performing Arts engages international visiting artists in 

community programs and introduces local artists to wider audiences. We place a 

premium on establishing artists as a continuing presence in the lives of both young 

people and adults through residencies and education programs.

Our achievements have been recognized with a National Medal of Arts and with 

three Mayor’s Arts Awards from the District of Columbia Government. We have now 

embarked upon our second half-century, ever inspired by the motto of our founder, 

Patrick Hayes: “Everybody in, nobody out.”

The Annual Joseph and Goldie Feder Memorial String Competition

Established in 1971 by Goldie Feder in honor of her late husband, the competition was 

originally open to students in grades six through eight in the District of Columbia Public 

Schools. Over the years, Washington Performing Arts has broadened the competition 

to reach aspiring string students in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Since its 

inception, more than 2,000 students have competed and been awarded scholarships, 

cash awards, and opportunities to perform in prestigious venues throughout the greater 

Washington community. Winners of the Feder Memorial String Competition have gone 

on to study at Oberlin College, the Juilliard School, and the Curtis Institute of Music, 

and have launched successful careers in the music field.

Now in its forty-ninth year, the competition continues to inspire and nurture the 

artistic growth of local music students who play violin, viola, cello, or bass. Competition winners from the 48th Annual Competition, many of whom you will see and hear 

today, were judged on their musicianship, technical ability, interpretation, stage 

presence, and overall presentation.

The Feder Memorial String Competition is an excellent example of Washington 

Performing Arts’ commitment to nurturing young artists and providing educational 

opportunities in the arts. Please join us in congratulating this year’s participants for 

their dedication, hard work, and progress!

The Annual Misbin Family Memorial String Competition

Designed to support the development of young artists and celebrate the lifelong 

creativity of performers in the greater Washington, DC, area, the Misbin Family 

Memorial Chamber Music Competition is open to instrumental chamber music 

students, adult amateurs, and professional musicians. Participants are adjudicated 

by a panel of judges made up of distinguished performers, teachers, and other 

recognized members of the greater Washington music community.

The competition is open to the public and a great opportunity to hear promising 

young artists perform a varied program. Winners receive cash awards and opportunities to appear in prestigious venues throughout the Washington, DC, metro region.

The 2019 competition winners performing today exemplify some of the great 

talent present in our community. Washington Performing Arts is excited to support 

these artists in their journeys!
