The Choral Arts Society Of Washington

**The Choral Arts Society of Washington** is a powerhouse choir rooted in the heart of D.C., blending timeless tradition with vibrant musical exploration. Founded in 1965 by conductor Norman Scribner, this ensemble has become a cornerstone of the capital’s cultural scene, known for its soaring performances of everything from classical masterpieces to contemporary works. They’ve shared stages with icons like the National Symphony Orchestra and regularly light up venues such as the Kennedy Center, bringing choral magic to audiences through live recordings and themed projects.

Recent releases showcase their versatility: from the thunderous grandeur of Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand” to the heartfelt hymns of Charles Wesley (in both English and Spanish editions), they balance spiritual depth with artistic flair. Their holiday album *Star Over Bethlehem* and collaborative peace-themed concerts highlight their knack for uniting communities through song. Beyond the spotlight, the group invests in education and outreach, nurturing future musicians and ensuring choral music remains a living, breathing art form. Whether on record or live, The Choral Arts Society keeps voices lifted—literally and figuratively—in celebration of music’s power to connect us all.
