Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concert

Chorus meets big band: journey through jazz, blues, and choral music in Ellington’s Sacred Concert with the Cathedral Choral Society, Heritage Signature Chorale, and Pershing’s Own U.S. Army Blues.

Washington National Cathedral throws open its doors to welcome one and all to a free celebration of DC’s own Duke Ellington. CCS and the Heritage Signature Chorale are joined by Pershing’s Own U.S. Army Blues for a journey through Ellington’s Sacred Concert, a work he considered to be his most important.

This concert is free and open to the public but advance tickets are required.
