Choral Arts Society of Washington

Choral Arts Society of Washington imbues every single performance with the promise of a transportive choral singing experience. Based in the nation’s capital, the group weaves their shared passion, world-class repertoire, and radiant voices into a sound that changes people. They sing for a city with little time and high expectations, which compels them to transform a night out into a lifelong memory. They defy preconceived notions—exploring styles, arrangements, spaces, and collaborations that reimagine traditions and create surprising new ones.

Choral Arts sings the music they love as a balm to frenzied days, an antidote to solitude, a union in an often-fractured world. As their conductor raises his baton, a moment is born. As their melody rises, spirits rise with it. As their notes weave intricate harmonies, the bonds between people are strengthened. And as their last note fades, in the heartbeat before the ovation, you will suddenly hear the story singing within you—a small awakening to take back into the world.

Founded in 1965 by Norman Scribner (1936-2015), Choral Arts has a rich history of bringing the power of the human voice to audiences large and small. They advance the story of choral music by partnering with musicians, composers, and ensembles from all walks of life.
