Summers in appreciation of excellence in the arts) and with the Harlem Boys’ Choir in Sanders Theater; singing with the Vox jazz quintet, the Harvard Choir and the Chorale Fellows of Memorial Church; and serving as an Undergraduate Representative to the Music Department...
...where young, creative Washingtonians go to shake off their political straitjackets. It's also home to some of the city's richest but oft-forgotten cultural history.
