The Washington Post Sings Washington Master Chorale's Praises

The Washington Post’s Classical Music Critic Michael Andor Brodeur attended Washington Master Chorale’s holiday concert, Sweet Was the Song on December 10 at St. Anne’s Catholic Church and gave it a phenomenal review. Read the full review here (paywall) and some of the pull quotes of note below: 

“... Christmas program that doubled as an enlightening musical journey through centuries of carols and chorales.”

“...included a level of confidence you don’t often see in semiprofessional chorales…”

“...The Washington Master Chorale is an exceptionally focused group…”

“artistic director Thomas Colohan and his 54-voice chorus seemed intent on showing their range and playing to their strengths.”
