About Us

WDC – The Choir as Diverse, Dynamic, and Resilient as Our City

The Washington Douglass Chorale embodies this spirit: a place where contrasts meet, where diverse voices blend, and where resilience transforms difference into song. In every performance, we carry forward a vision of a community strengthened by inclusion, inspiration, and shared purpose, just as Washington, Douglass, and our city itself continue to inspire.

Thank You for a Wonderful Season

This season, the Washington Douglass Chorale brought audiences together through performances that celebrated history, heritage, community, and hope. Through programs such as American Tapestry and our holiday concert, we explored the stories and traditions that shape both our city and our nation, creating meaningful moments of reflection, connection, and celebration.

We are grateful to every audience member, supporter, singer, and volunteer who joined us throughout the season. Your encouragement and commitment helped bring these performances to life and strengthened the community we are proud to serve.

Thank you for sharing this season with us and for helping sustain the transformative power of choral music. We look forward to continuing this journey together through song, storytelling, and community.
