Five Ways To Experience Holiday Season Happiness with The Washington Chorus

In a season where the joy of togetherness is what we all need more than ever, DC’s only two-time Grammy award winning chorus is proud to offer five ways to experience holiday happiness through live and digital concerts, personalized musical messages, and much more.

1. Join TWC for their live and in-person Candlelight Christmas concerts.
Recognized annually as a best DC holiday event and a DC holiday concert you can’t miss, The Washington Chorus’ “Candlelight Christmas” concerts at the Kennedy Center and Music Center at Strathmore offer a gorgeously produced holiday musical experience for families, friends, and all, featuring brass, bells, carols, TWC’s signature candlelight processional, and the 100+ voices of The Washington Chorus, led by dynamic Artistic Director Eugene Rogers.

Bonus this season: the “Candlelight Christmas” shows, which the Chorus has designed with your  safe and healthy live event experience in mind, are just 75 minutes with no intermission, and all musicians onstage are vaccinated and masked to ensure a maximally healthy and safe concert experience.

Special this year: guest artists on the 2021 “Candlelight Christmas” include MetOpera soprano Aundi Marie Moore, high school choirs from Duke Ellington School of the Arts (Washington, D.C.) and Reservoir High School Chamber Choir (Fulton, Maryland) as part of the Side by Side program presented by KPMG, the National Capital Brass, organist Paul Byssainthe, Jr., and more.

2. Purchase a Cause for Song “Carol on Demand” for a loved one, colleague, or friend.
Featuring singers and staff of The Washington Chorus and top musical talent from the Metropolitan Opera and beyond, this is your chance to bring joy and love to someone special in your life through a personalized musical video message created just for them.

As profiled on NBC Washington and in the Washington Post, TWC’s “Carols on Demand” program on the Cause for Song platform allows you to select a musician, a song, and a personalized message, and days later to have a one-of-a-kind musical video message ready for you and your loved ones. From “Jingle Bells” to “O Holy Night” to “Silent Night” and much more, customers love this chance to have a personalized musical video message created just for them.

In addition to singers and staff from the Chorus, almost a dozen luminary musicians – including MetOpera sopranos Danielle Talamantes and Aundi Marie Moore and Alysia Lee of the Sister Cities Girlchoir – are ready to delight you with their beautiful singing and heartfelt personalized message.
