Accolades and Reviews
In a recent review of our Winter Holiday Concert, Washington Post critic Cecilia Porter said:
- “The chorus’s more than 60 voices sing as one coherent ensemble with near-perfect diction, a stable sense of pitch, an intelligent grasp of the varying emotions of each work, and solid accord between singers and director.”
- “Aided by optimum acoustics, the chorus performed a first-rate Christmas-oriented program … on Sunday.”
