I went to a wedding this weekend in Texas and the ceremony included a full choir ensemble. Being inspired by the warm sound of the cathedral, I'd like to explore similar type performances here in DC. Any suggestions as to where I could look to find places to go or performance schedules? Thanks.

I'd try any of the 24,583,283 churches on 16th st NW on any given Sunday.

I'd go to a blacker section of town if I wanted to hear a good church choir.

The whole thing is now white, since the mandatory deportation of darker skinned people to PG County.

Death on the rise
First, the bad news: the number of murders in the DC area rose in 2005. But for residents of the District itself, there is a silver lining: the increase can be traced to the surrounding suburbs. There were 466 homicides in the area, according to the Washington Post, up from 420 in 2004; however, the number of murders in the city fell from 198 to 194, marking the first time since the mid-1980s that the city has seen fewer than 200 killings for two consecutive years.
Washington, DC, was known as the ??murder capital? of America in the late 1980s and 1990s, because of rates that sometimes topped 400, peaking at 482 in 1991. This sparked an exodus from the city to the suburbs, as residents tried to escape the crime. But now crime is rising in these peripheral districts, most notably in Prince George??s County, Maryland, where murders rose from 148 in 2004 to 173. The city itself still has a relatively high murder rate??35 per 100,000 residents. Most American cities of a similar size have much lower rates: in 2002 Seattle's was 4.5 per 100,000 residents and Denver's was 8.8 (DC's was 45.9).

On 16th there is:
Trinity AME Zion Church
3505 16th St NW, Washington, DC 20010
They have two big choir sections, one on each side of the congregation. I have done choir concerts there in the past, it is a good sounding room too.
Other than that, as stated, check all the churches out.

No prob. When I did a lot of live sound, this was one of the quieter shows. I have done some at other churches (Sactuary for instance for Bill MacKaye) but these gospel choirs are usually the best.

The choir at St. Matthew's (1725 Rhode Island, Ave., NW) is amazing and very well known.
-
The Church of the Epiphany, 13th & G Streets, NW, Washington, DC
Noontime Bach Cantatas (http://www.bachconsort.org/noontime.html)

Not to be missed. (http://claricesmithcenter.umd.edu/2006/c/performances/performance?rowid=1868)
What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than to listen to an Estonian choir.
Actually, I'm serious about not missing this. It promises to be one of the must-hear events this season.
