On Saturday, March 12, DC arts supporters will come together to celebrate the Cathedral Choral Society and its mission of inspiring the community through the joy of choral singing with Gala 1941 at The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel. This gala is the Cathedral Choral Society’s most significant annual fundraising event, and supports the organization’s artistic and community engagement initiatives.
In celebration of the Cathedral Choral Society’s founding year, attendees will enjoy a ritzy evening of 1940s fun with big band swing, guest performers, dancing, and a silent auction. This gala will be “reception style,” with an open bar, food stations, and passed hors d’oeuvres. The sixteen-piece Brooks Tegler Band performs.
“Our spring gala is our most important annual fundraising event,” said Ernie Abbott, President of the Cathedral Choral Society’s Board of Trustees. “On the eve of our 75th anniversary season, this gala is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the artistic programming and community engagement initiatives of this organization. Support from our gala attendees will help ensure artistic vibrancy in our 75th season and beyond.”
Live music, and dance will fill the stage for Bowen McCauley Dance’s 20th anniversary concert. The program features a breathtaking solo danced to the music of Juilliard professor and composer Michael White; a moving exploration of human connections performed to a live violin solo of a work by J.S. Bach; and the highly anticipated world premiere of Ars Amatoria, a playful interpretation of ancient roman poet Ovid’s instructional writings about the arts of seduction and love, featuring a commissioned score by Larry Alan Smith.
