Know Before You Go
Attending a CCS Concert
You’re Invited.
Cathedral Choral Society concerts are open to all and we welcome you to come as you are. Whether it’s your first choral concert or whether you are a long-time concert-goer, we invite you to enjoy the Cathedral and the music. It is our hope that we can greet you with a helpful smile and that you enjoy your experience with us!

At the Cathedral Choral Society, we aim to make our concerts accessible for those with special needs and/or physical handicaps. Should you require any special assistance or consideration, please reach out to us so that we can make the concert-going experience enjoyable. Whether that’s finding the best seat, or figuring out where the accessible entrances are, we’re happy to help.
For accessibility questions, please contact our Patron & Donor Manager Gabriela Calderon at (202)537-5510 or at choralsociety@cathedral.org.
There are a number of dining options close to Washington National Cathedral. The following are restaurants located near the corner of Wisconsin Ave. and Macomb St.:
There’s no dress code for a CCS concert and we want you to feel at home. For some, the majesty of the Cathedral inspires them to wear business attire; for others, being comfortable is a priority. Though you might feel out of place in shorts and flip-flops, we are happy to have you however you come.
Yes! We love seeing young people in our audience. For our 2022-23 season, children over the age of 2 (or children who need their own seat) must have their own ticket. However, these tickets are eligible for the same pricing as our student tickets.
Here are some tips to make the experience an enjoyable one:
- We ask that if your child becomes noisy during the performance that you simply remove him/her if possible as some may find the noise distracting. Also, we are often recording our performances for commercial release, and editing out extra noises is very difficult for our engineers.
- We have coloring books for sale at the entry to the concert (while supplies last).
- If you are looking for which concert might be more ‘kid-friendly’ than another, give us a call and we’ll help you decide.
- Pro-tip: seating in the North Transept provides not only a good side view of the chorus and conductor, it is also close to a doorway in case you need to make a quick escape. Ask your box office specialist today!
