Timeless Concerts will present a free concert, “Violins with Love,” from 2 – 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 at the Arlington Museum of Art.

The performance will celebrate some of the beautiful things in life: puppies, kittens and beautiful music. Though there is no required admission price, patrons can donate what they want via cash, check or online giving. There will also be a silent auction.

Violinists LeeAnne Chenoweth and Hanyaun Wang will play duets at the casual-attire event, during which organization members will discuss ways to raise funds for Timeless Concerts and Operation Kindness, both 501c3 nonprofit organizations.
