16 Winter Events To Beat Cabin Fever In Northern VA

Now that the holidays are no longer competing for Virginians’ time, cabin fever may have started to set in.

It’s a perfect time to take in a concert or show, layer up and embrace the outdoors, or explore a new hobby.

We’ve rounded up 16 winter events from around Northern Virginia, including two symphony performances. The National Symphony Orchestra will perform chamber music Jan. 27 at Mount Vernon, followed by a reception of champagne and chocolates with the musicians. Or, you can catch pianist Ying Li perform Rachmaninoff's "2nd Piano Concerto" and Brahms’ "Symphony No. 4" with the Loudoun Symphony.
