Join us for our spring performance! Building on our foundation of celebrating our shared humanity through song, the Washington Douglass Chorale’s spring concert grapples with the issues of equity and inclusion. With music ranging from Dorothy Rudd Moore and Damien Geter to William Billings and Aaron Copland, the concert explores the true meaning of patriotism and invokes a commitment to the principles and ideals upon which our nation was founded: liberty and justice for all.

A special highlight of the program will be the world premiere of a newly commissioned work, “Suite Freedom for All,” composed by Washington, D.C.’s own Allyn Johnson in commemoration of the 125th anniversary of the birth of American composer and jazz pioneer Duke Ellington.
