America’s voice always has been raised in song, in a glorious interaction of the musical traditions of many peoples. Reflecting the creativity and energy that have made our country great, American composers have brought us the music the whole world sings, from Broadway to opera, folk song to oratorio.
To celebrate the genius and rich diversity of America’s sung music, from mid-February to early June 2010, American Sings in the Nation’s Capital 2010 will bring together the Washington area’s leading performing arts organizations to present an unprecedented festival of American music for the voice.
This festival will offer the public a dazzling array of performances and educational opportunities, across a broad range of musical genres, with something to appeal to every kind of musical interest. A full calendar can be found at www.dcsings.org. The National Master Chorale’s inaugural concert, Sunday, February 28, 2010, at 7:00 PM at The National Presbyterian Church will be part of the Festival.
On Saturday, April 10, 2010, the Festival will present its Festival Showcase, a wall-to-wall afternoon of American music for the voice, free to the public, at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. The concert will feature renowned opera and popular song artist Patricia Racette and a variety of DC-area performing groups.
The National Master Chorale is honored to have been chosen to be a part of the Festival Showcase.
