About:

Join The Washington Chorus for the return of our annual spring gala! This April, The Washington Chorus is traveling back in time to Paris in the 1920s as we eat, drink, and make merry to celebrate TWC’s programs and honor three fabulous visionaries at the forefront of shaping DC music. Dress to impress (costumes and cocktail attire encouraged!), settle in with your giggle water, and tap your toes to music that’s the cat’s pajamas.

Tickets and Table Sponsorships are available now. Please contact staff@thewashingtonchorus.org to learn more.

Featuring:

Honorees:

  • Sunny Sumter, President and CEO of the DC Jazz Festival (DCJF)

  • Terri Allen, Executive Director of the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts (CAAPA)

  • Laura Colgate, Executive/Artistic Director and Co-Founder of the Boulanger Initiative
