Dear Friends,

I am pleased to share the Children's Chorus of Washington’s 2023-2024 Organizational Report, and to express my heartfelt thanks for your ongoing support.

We’ve started the year with wonderful fundraising momentum with new grants from organizations including Sirius XM, the Philip L. Graham Fund, and the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation. This early success is a testament to our shared commitment to empowering young voices and creating opportunities for artistic growth.

Two weeks ago we had the privilege of partnering with the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum for the world premiere of ‘Agents of Deterioration’, written to celebrate the Hirshhorn’s 50th anniversary. Our choristers performed in the stunning setting of the Revolutions permanent collection. To hear a bit more about this impressive collaboration, click here for a short video from the creative team behind it.

I’m also excited to introduce the new members of our Development team: Michelle Ravitsky, Development and Operations Manager, and Kirsten Ferlazzo, Development Coordinator. Both Michelle and Kirsten bring a deeply held passion for the performing arts as well as tremendous energy to the CCW team, and I know you will enjoy getting to know them in the coming months.

Looking ahead, please mark December 15th on your calendar for our Winter Concert which will feature the incredible soprano Aundi Marie Moore. It will be a festive celebration, and we look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a spectacular performance.

I hope you enjoy the attached report, where you’ll see the full scope of our accomplishments last season. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to nurture the next generation of choral artists.

Robbie Jacobs

Executive Director
