It’s been a whirlwind start of the City Choir of Washington’s 2023/24 season! We sang Carmina Burana at Wolf Trap and in Richmond, performed the National Anthem at a Nats game, are continuing our relationship with the National Symphony Orchestra’s Sound Health Initiative, socialized, sang the magnificent Magnificat (and more!) of J.S. Bach, appeared on WETA TV’s Songs of the Season, and continue to spread joy throughout the Washington, DC metro area with the City Singers.
Take a look!
