The Washington Chorus

The Washington Chorus (TWC), now in its 64th season, is one of the foremost symphonic choruses in the nation. Noted for the superb artistry of its performances and recordings of the entire range of the choral repertoire, TWC is widely recognized as a cultural leader in the nation’s capital.

A three-time nominated and two-time Grammy Award winner, the 200-voice Washington Chorus presents a robust performance season at major venues in the Washington, D.C. area and regularly performs at the invitation of the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and the National Philharmonic. TWC has a budget of $1.5 million and is governed by a 20-member Board of Trustees. Its operations are managed by six professional staff.

Artistic Director Eugene Rogers is widely regarded as one of the most dynamic next-generation conductors, teachers, and musical thought leaders working in the choral field today. Positioned at the intersection of classical music and social change, Dr. Rogers is an Associate Professor of Music and Director of University Choirs at the renowned University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance, as well as Founder and Director of EXIGENCE, a professional vocal ensemble affiliated with the world-renowned Sphinx Organization.

The mission of The Washington Chorus is to create transformative musical experiences that bring people together through the joy of choral music. We envision an inclusive community where choral music connects, reflects, and inspires everyone.
