The Chorus has sung with the National Symphony in more than 300 performances, under the direction of many of the world's leading conductors, including Gianandrea Noseda, Christoph Eschenbach, Leonard Slatkin, James Conlon, Mstislav Rostropovich, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Neville Marriner, Kent Nagano, Marin Alsop, Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Andrew Davis, and many others.
The Chorus has sung for numerous prestigious events throughout its history: inaugurations, papal visits, with the Rolling Stones during their 50th anniversary tour, and at the White House in 2013 and 2014 for the President and First Lady.
The Chorus was a featured performing group at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors to pay homage to composer Philip Glass and a guest collaborator on “DJ Cassidy’s Pass the Mic” segment broadcast on the 2021 Biden-Harris Inauguration “Parade Across America”.
The film tells a covid-era love story centered on an elderly Black couple separated by the virus, and the music is modeled after Bach's redemptive “Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen” cantata (BWV 12).
The platform featured Chorus singers, staff, as well as guest artists including Nicholas Phan, Metropolitan Opera soprano Aundi Marie Moore and Sister Cities Girlchoir.
