Cathedral Choral Society<\/a> here in Washington, DC.\u00a0 I have for a few years now.\u00a0 We’re the resident symphonic chorus at the National Cathedral, which means that we’re not the choir that sings at church services but rather we put on secular concerts a few times a year.<\/p>\nIf you’re in the area and are interested in choral music, check out our website and come and hear a concert sometime!<\/p>\n
Singing is something that I’ve done since I was young, but it’s one of those strange hobbies where it isn’t always easy to find an outlet that isn’t the shower or the car (though it’s easier than finding somewhere to play the French Horn currently gathering dust in my closet).\u00a0 I’m lucky to have found a place to sing where the schedule is flexible enough to allow me to also have a life.\u00a0 We rehearse once a week up until Hell Week, and occasional absences are permitted, which is great.\u00a0 Sometimes, things come up with work or illness or general exhaustion because you were dumb and ran 15 miles that morning.<\/p>\n
But it’s nice to be part of something bigger.\u00a0 It’s nice to get to blend into a group and share something special.\u00a0 And it’s probably good that I have a hobby other than running.\u00a0 Otherwise things could get crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
