Despite the snow-induced cancellation of Encore's final two concerts of the holiday season, the nine Baltimore-Washington area chorales still managed to perform seven concerts in the first two weeks of December.  The largest and, by acclaim, the most successful performance was at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage on December 16th.  Over two hundred singers spilled out in front of the stage, pushing the standing room only crowd far down the Center's main concourse.  It certainly had to be one of the Millennium Stage's largest performances, both in terms of number of performers and size of audience.  A grand time was had by all, suitable for this grand location.

Many thanks to Margo Hope, from the Schweinhaut Encore Chorale, for compiling a wonderful photo album of the event, as well as photos from the concert at the Schweinhaut Senior Center on the following Friday, December 18th.  View the photos by clicking here or on the photo on the left.
