| |  | | |  The Embassy of Azerbaijan The Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan opened on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, in 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This past May, the Embassy of Azerbaijan was one of more than 70 embassies that participated in the 10th anniversary of Passport DC. During the annual program, the embassy invited numerous area residents and visitors to learn about Azerbaijan history and culture – the country's important presence along the Silk Road, its status as one of the oldest wine making countries in the world, and its natural beauty. From the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, the forests of Lenkaran to the shores of the Caspian Sea, the variety of Azerbaijan's nature inspires its artists and musicians. Azerbaijan celebrated its Republic Day June 6. | |  | |  The Sound of Music The Kennedy Center is alive with The Sound of Music! The spirited, romantic, and beloved musical will thrill again with its Tony, Grammy, and Oscar-winning score in this new production, directed by three-time Tony winner Jack O'Brien. The musical story of Maria and the von Trapp Family will delight audiences with its score by Rodgers & Hammerstein. This production is showing through July 16. | |  Annual East of the Rivier Exhibition The East of the River Exhibition returns to the Honfleur Gallery for the 11th year!
