Help Us Train the Next Generation of Choral Artists
The Choral Arts Society of Washington is the premiere choral-orchestral symphonic organization in Washington, D.C., an ambassadorial chorus recognized for pairing serious artistry with a warm welcome, on stage and off.
The Choral Scholars Program is one of our signature offerings that ensures the high caliber of choral performance reaches the next generation. This paid internship trains current students and recent graduates pursuing careers in music education, placing them alongside our professional conductors and inside the rehearsal process of a premiere symphonic chorus. Scholars leave with the kind of hands-on experience that most young musicians don’t get access to until much later in their careers, if at all.
Your gift is an investment in the singers, conductors, and educators who will lead choral music’s next chapter.
