We know this will be a tough sell, suggesting you go to church at 5 pm on Sunday when the Skins will be on playing against Peyton in Denver. But if you’re not interested in (or already tired of) football this fall, this event might be the one for you.
A 35-person choir called the Thomas Circle Singers will be singing in the heart of Penn Quarter at the First Congregational United Church of Christ (945 G St NW, corner of 10th and G St.). This is the building that was torn down with plans for immediate rebuilding, until the financial crisis hit. Stayed a hole in the ground for a while before Swedish development company Skanska took up the project. We think this is probably the most attractive building to go up in Penn Quarter in years, and the church space, we are told, is spectacular.
The performance is $20 in advance, $25 at the door for the show named “I’ll Sing, I’ll Be” and is described on the Thomas Circle Singers website as:
TCS will explore the varied ways in which music speaks to us and allows us to further express our thoughts and emotions. Featured works include Ola Gjeilo’s “Luminous Night of the Soul” and “Across the Vast, Eternal Sky,” Blake Henson’s “August Moonrise,” Robert Convery’s “To the One of Fictive Music,” and other selections from composers Morten Lauridsen, Gerald Finzi, and Frank Ticheli.
If the above isn’t enough to convince you this is a worthy event in Penn Quarter, how about this? Proceeds from the concert benefit Thrive DC, so not only do you get to listen to one of DC’s finest choirs in a beautiful setting, but you’re also supporting a great cause in the city.
