The choirs and orchestras of Fourth Presbyterian Church create beautiful music to the honor of our Great God and Savior. We welcome men and women, boys and girls, to come and join.
Fridays at Fourth
New Chamber Music Series
Concerts take place in the Sanctuary at 1 p.m. and showcase a diverse repertoire, highlighting both classical masterpieces and contemporary works performed by talented local and visiting musicians. Join us for an afternoon of remarkable music; concerts are free and open to all.
March 14: Musicians of Fourth
Enjoy an eclectic program featuring some of the prodigious musical talent of Fourth! The concert will showcase Lawrence Ink (flute), James Steele (saxophone), Evelyn Song (violin), Annabelle Song (piano), Esther Steele (piano), Wyeth Duncan (piano), and Ted Bickish (organ).
May 16: Last Stand Quartet
Founded in 2010, The Last Stand Quartet brings together four of The National Symphony Orchestra’s musicians - violinists Joel Fuller (Fourth's own) and Derek Powell, violist Mahoko Eguchi and cellist Rachel Young - who each enjoy sharing their passion for chamber music and performing for a wide range of audiences.
Commended by The Washington Post for their “consistent refinement and interpretive restraint”, the Last Stand Quartet’s performance highlights include a sold-out concert for the Kennedy Center’s Fortas Chamber Music Series, the Odeon Chamber Music Series, a collaborative performance with Kentucky Shakespeare entitled "Sonnets and Soliloquies," and shows across the Washington area.
Please consider these opportunities to serve in Fourth's music ministries.
