Sunday, November 1 @ 4pm
Church of the Ascension and St Agnes
District Chorale presents two sacred works that confront loss. In Andrew Smith’s Requiem, hope rises from the tragedy of Norway's "9/11" with choir, organ, and improvised sax. Josef Friedrich Doppelbauer’s Kleine Messe carries the weight of serving on the "wrong" side of WW2. We invite listeners to reflect and renew in a space that supports glorious a cappella singing. Stay for a reception and share the hope that music brings.
Sunday, December 20 @ 4pm
Church of the Ascension and St Agnes
Celebrate the season of joy and hope by candlelight. District Chorale and harpist Nadia Pessoa present seasonal music from medieval times to Benjamin Britten, to a new commission by DC native, Greg Sandow. Stay after the concert for a reception filled with Christmas Cheer.

We sing as a community that develops musical skills in a culture of goodwill, with the deep knowledge that choral music is a transformational experience for the individual and collective, and brings us together to transcend barriers and borders.
