Planning Your "Justice & Peace" Experience
You don’t want to miss “Justice & Peace,” the epic conclusion to The Washington Chorus’ (TWC’s) 61st season.
In order to make the most of your experience, The Washington Chorus has compiled a list of recommendations so that your experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
Before you come, learn about the message behind Justice & Peace
Read our blog and listen to conversations by the artists to understand the powerful message behind Justice & Peace.
Make a plan to get there
We recommend the Metro! The Foggy Bottom/GWU/Kennedy Center station (on the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines) is a short walk away from the Kennedy Center VIA New Hampshire Avenue.
If you’re driving, consider parking in the Kennedy Center’s garage, saving you time and hassle of finding parking in a popular part of DC.
For further information on getting to the Kennedy Center, check out their page with detailed instructions.
Don’t forget your tickets!
Seating is reserved for this performance, and you must present a physical ticket or email/virtual ticket on your mobile device in order to enter the hall. If you have will call tickets purchased through the Kennedy Center or The Washington Chorus, please check in at the Kennedy Center box office to retrieve those tickets.
Wear your mask!
Justice & Peace is expected to run about two hours with a short intermission, and a face mask is required to be worn by every attendee for the entire duration of your visit inside the Kennedy Center complex, including in the Concert Hall during the entirety of the performance.
Make a night of it – together
Whether it’s pre-concert dinner and drinks or a post-show hot toddy, the Kennedy Center Concert Hall is close by to many terrific dining and bar options in the Foggy Bottom and West End neighborhoods. Enjoy a pre-show dinner at Kingbird restaurant at the gorgeous and serene Watergate Hotel, or at another nearby restaurant option like CIRCA, Founding Farmers, or The Prime Rib, and stick around for a post-show cocktail at the funky Hive Bar on F Street NW. Or simply plan to meet your friends and family in the Hall of Nations or on the outdoor Plaza, weather permitting
Bring your phone to get access to our digital program book
TWC is proud to be using digital program books to limit waste of paper and increase accessibility.
Not sure how to get access? Roving Kennedy Center and TWC staff and volunteers will have cards with QR codes for you to easily scan with your phone – simply open your phone’s camera function, point it at the code, and voila: our Justice & Peace digital program book is yours. Please ask an usher or TWC volunteer or staff if you’re unable to access the digital program book or for any support in maximizing your experience while there. TWC wants you to have a memorable and meaningful live music experience with The Washington Chorus!
If you have a moment, be sure to check out the program for information on the songs the Chorus plans to perform at the event, and biographies on the world-class musicians that are part of Justice & Peace at the Kennedy Center, including TWC Artistic Director Eugene Rogers, who makes his full TWC Orchestral and Choral debut with this program.
Make a new friend or acquaintance
Live music experiences are all about making connections: with ourselves and with one another. And TWC’s Justice & Peace concert is the perfect chance to make a new friend or acquaintance, even if only for the night. TWC concert attendees are famously friendly, so don’t be shy! Say hi to your seatmate or neighbor, and strike up a conversation about music, about the choir, or even what you had for lunch!

Before and after Justice & Peace, you’ll be able to purchase Washington Chorus recordings and merchandise in the Concert Hall lobby. Items for sale include TWC branded t-shirts, masks, and CDs from TWC’s extensive catalogue of award-winning recordings.
