UpBeat: The Choral Arts Podcast

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! In this episode, we’ll interview bass-baritone Carl DuPont about his career, inspirations, and role in our upcoming holiday concerts. We’ll also talk with Chorus President Ariel Gold and Vice President Karen Hopper about the magic of Christmas at Choral Arts, pieces that inspire them, and why they think you'll love our concerts.

Artistic Director Dr. Jace Kaholokula Saplan shares the inspiration for their first concert with the Choral Arts Society of Washington's Symphonic Chorus. Get to know B.E. Boykin, hear the surprising story of how Gwyneth Walker's A Heart in Hiding is linked to DC and Choral Arts with Choral Arts member Jennifer Leach, and learn how each choral work is connected to Washington, DC. Visit ChoralArts.org to join us in-person and online for O! What a Beautiful City, Wondrous Music Rooted in DC at Washington National Cathedral on November 19th at 7:00 pm ET.

Get to know Choral Arts and Artistic Director Dr. Jace Kaholokula Saplan as they share the history of our organization, its leadership, their background and connection to choral music, and their vision for the future.
