A Kaleidoscope of Light: The Launch of Our Annual Fund Campaign

At the west end of Washington National Cathedral is a 26-foot-tall rose window made up of more than 10,000 small and large pieces of glass, each individually colored. Together, these pieces create a stunning image that casts its kaleidoscope of light on the Cathedral’s walls. This light is ever-changing, with new perspectives offered each moment of the day.

You are part of the light that shines at the Cathedral Choral Society. Your contribution adds to our color palette and provides us with the resources we need to create transcendent musical moments in a space of beauty and community.

I am writing to ask you for your support of our Annual Fund campaign today. We have set an ambitious goal: we aim to raise $320,000 by June 30, 2023, and it is only possible with your support. Your gift enables us to collaborate with world-class guest artists like the Atlanta Ballet and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and to continue important initiatives like our multi-year I, Too, Sing America program with the Heritage Signature Chorale.

Sometimes it is the smallest piece of glass that sparkles the most. Whether large or small, each and every donation provides us the inspiration we need to keep creating, to keep singing with voices and hearts full.

Thank you for your support and for being a member of our community.

With gratitude,

Christopher Eanes
Executive Director
