[edit] Background Information and History
Started in 2001 by Jeffery S. Benson, choral director of the H-B Woodlawn Music Department, the H-B Woodlawn Chamber Singers are based at H-B Woodlawn Program in Arlington, Virginia and have become well known throughout the Washington, DC area, and the state of Virginia. In 2002, the Chamber Singers performed at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The following year, they performed in the White House and Orlando, Florida. In the Fall of 2004, the Chamber Singers were invited to sing at the Virginia Music Educator's Association Convention in Norfolk, Virginia. In the Winter of 2005, the Chamber Singers joined forces with The Washington Chorus for their Christmas concert at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Strathmore Music Hall. In the Winter of 2006, the singers performed with Choralis, under the direction of Gretchen Kuhrmann, and performed in a production of Amahl and the Night Visitors as the chorus in early 2007.
