It’s a New Year and maybe one of your resolutions is to get back to singing in a chorus. If you are a tenor or bass looking for a high-quality chorus singing American music while having fun, then Congressional Chorus is the place for you!

Congressional Chorus is currently holding auditions for tenors and basses to sing for the rest of our 2011-2012 25th Anniversary Season. Remaining concerts this season are “SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL: A 1950s American Cabaret” (March 22, 23, 24, and 25) at the Atlas Performing Arts Center and ”SINGING AMERICA’S SONGS: A Silver Anniversary Concert” on June 2 at National City Christian Church.

Our members come from many different professions and all walks of life from Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. You do NOT need to be employed on a Congressional staff to audition for the chorus, as 75% of our chorus members do NOT work on a Congressional staff.

The one thing that we have in common is that we are all committed to performing choral music of the highest artistic quality in an environment that is creative, supportive and FUN! Read more about the chorus here.

We rehearse on Monday evenings at the Atlas Performing Arts Center, which is located in the hot and hip H Street corridor at 1333 H Street, Northeast.

If you would like to schedule an audition with our artistic director, David Simmons, please contact our administrative director, Debby McConnell, at 202-399-7993 x182, or e-mail her at debby_mcconnell@congressionalchorus.org.
