Singers are committed to performing music that is representative of various countries by tapping into the vast potential of cultural diversity in the Washington DC metropolitan and surrounding areas.
The Washington International Chorus believes that choral music is particularly suitable for demonstrating the cultural richness of the world's peoples and communities.
Transcending mere language, live choral performance allows audiences to experience the beauty, complexity and distinctiveness of living cultural heritage.
