Children’s Chorus of Washington Celebrates 25th Anniversary with Holiday Events and Album Release — Children’s Chorus of Washington
Releases line-up of holiday performances with PBS, The Kennedy Center, and one of Broadway’s Hamilton performers, Julia Estrada
WASHINGTON – Dec. 7, 2020 – PRLog — The Children’s Chorus of Washington is proud to celebrate its 25th Anniversary with a holiday season full of events. After pivoting due to the pandemic to virtual vocal practices and performances throughout the year, the Children’s Chorus of Washington (CCW) has lined up a series of events, with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), The Kennedy Center, and one of Broadway’s Hamilton performers, Julia Estrada.
In addition to the events, CCW will release a compilation of 25 tracks to celebrate 25 years of performances, uplifting the community, and the youth throughout Washington, DC through performing arts.
The album, Making Spirits Bright, has been newly remastered with songs that have never been released. The work was recorded live over the past four seasons, this album is a special compilation celebrating the holiday season, and representing the work of the 387 singers who participated in our auditioned ensembles between 2016 and 2019.
“At CCW, we celebrate and value the strength of each student’s voice by keeping the essence of choral singing alive and sharing that spirit with others,” said Artistic Director Margaret N. Clark. “Singing together is how we feel connected and empowering my singers to continue to find ways to meet the challenges of this time together is my goal this season. I am so proud of our choristers and thrilled to showcase them throughout DC and beyond.”
