With:  The City Choir of Washington and additional artists to be announced

The City Choir honors Memorial Day at the beautiful Schlesinger Concert Hall with a special, free admission concert dedicated to remembrance, reflection, and unity. The afternoon features Albert Tiberio’s evocative The Wall—a stirring tribute to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial for narrator, soloists, and orchestra—alongside moving American classics by Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, and more. 

Join us for this powerful tribute to those who serve, and for an inspiring final community sing-along for the entire audience. (Further details forthcoming.)

Getting There / Parking

Free parking on Sunday is available directly across Campus Drive from the Schlesinger Concert Hall in the Beauregard Street Parking Garage.
