LET US REJOICE! 🔔 | Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! "Hallelujah" is a soulful re-imagining of the "Hallelujah" chorus from George Handel's Messiah. Led by Ms. Michelle Fowlin, the Washington Performing Arts Children of the Gospel Choir joined the Singing Sergeants for a joyful rendition of the John Higgins adaptation.

This video comes from our recent Season of Hope performance at DAR's Constitution Hall. The COGC are approaching their 30th anniversary year. They have become the preeminent choir for local students looking to further their excellence in artistry and technique. This powerful presentation also features our U.S. Air Force Concert Band, and displays a passion and jubilance that is sure to tug at your heartstrings!

We especially want to lift up our service members who may be away from home this holiday season. May this rendition of "Hallelujah" lift you up wherever you may be!
