Washington Master Chorale

WASHINGTON MASTER CHORALE (WMC) is a vibrant, mixed-voice chorus of 60 professional and volunteer singers, which has quickly garnered a reputation for vocal excellence and distinctive programming. Since its 2010 debut, led by Artistic Director Thomas Colohan, WMC has sung at The Kennedy Center, the Chorus America National Conference, Library of Congress, and with the National Symphony Orchestra, among other distinguished artists and venues. The Washington Post hails the ensemble’s singing as “remarkable for its beauty,” “seamlessly blended,” and “a sound worth hearing.” Equally at home singing works of American and European masters, WMC is noted for its innovative presentation of music from the 19th-century onward, with emphasis on contemporary works. Composer Morten Lauridsen says, “Maestro Colohan and his splendid singers are committed to choral excellence and will enrich the lives of all who experience their artistry.” The iconic Alice Parker says, “It was a pleasure to hear [this] excellent chorus. I was really impressed.” In 2013, WMC released "The Earth and I: New American Choral Music" on the Albany label, and in 2016,"This Endris Night: Christmas with the Washington Master Chorale" on the ACIS label.
