Community Chorus

Based in Washington, DC

The City Choir of Washington (TCCW) is a member-driven choral community that is as committed to the music it performs as to the city it serves. It presents moving and thoughtfully curated musical events throughout the Washington, DC metro area to uplift and inspire audiences and singers alike.

City Choir is a diverse group of over 140 volunteer singers from throughout the Washington metro region. Singers range in age from 21 to 81; some were born in DC, while others hail from Africa, Europe, and Asia all are bound together by a passion for choral music. The group performs for audiences from Northwest to Southeast DC, and from Virginia to Maryland. The City Choir of Washington seeks to provide space where singers and patrons alike can focus on the shared experience of music over external divisions, and where joy can be found in collaborative artistic expression, small accomplishments, and large triumphs.

In summer 2022, the City Choir of Washington concluded fifteen seasons under the artistic leadership of GRAMMY-winning conductor Robert Shafer and welcomed Artistic Director Erin Freeman.

The City Choir of Washington s engagement ensemble, the City Singers, under the direction of Assistant Conductor Kathleen Jagielski, brings programs of holiday music, spirituals, pop tunes, and American classics to audiences at assisted living facilities, military retirement communities, medical facilities, and homeless shelters. Other community engagement programs include the continuation of City Choir s work with the National Symphony Orchestra s Sound Health Initiative, Artistic Director Erin Freeman s clinics with DC-area music educators, and singing the national anthem at Washington Nationals baseball games.
