LGCW's Quick Information

Who we are…

A non-auditioned community chorus with a 25-year history making beautiful music in the Washington, DC area.
Women and men working together to learn and perform great music.
People of many different backgrounds working together to administer the chorus through the consensus model.
A fun group of friendly, thoughtful people!

Present two major concerts every year (winter and spring), plus a variety of smaller performances throughout the year.
(Note: We are not presenting a Winter concert in 2010).
Perform music from a wide span of time periods and musical traditions, in a variety of languages, about almost every topic.
Affirm and honor LGBT people and work for social justice.

We are doing something different for the Fall 2009 semester. We are rehearsing 7:00-9:00 PM twice a month September through December:
- 7:00-8:00–rehearsal time, which includes sectional work and large ensemble work.
- 8:00-9:00–business, talking, and food.
- As needed, the music director will ask a section to stay an extra 15 minutes to rehearse problem spots that arise during rehearsal

Most of our rehearsals take place in the theatre of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) (545 7th Street, SE – at the corner of 7th & G Streets.)
Regrettably, CHAW is not accessible for the disabled. However, we have been able to accommodate members who require assistance with the steps into the rehearsal space. Please talk to us about how we can meet your needs.
We have performed at various venues around the DC region. Recently, our performance home for our winter and spring concerts has been Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church (4th St. & Independence Ave., SE).
