A project of DC Strings Workshop, a non-profit organization, THE ACCORD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA now entering its 7th season, is an orchestra of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians committed to presenting classical and contemporary performances. With the belief that access to high-quality music is a fundamental right, DC Strings Workshop and its members have presented or collaborated with leading area musicians on +100 concerts to date, since its founding in 2017. The Orchestra has performed at National Park Service sites celebrating the Frederick Douglass Bicentennial in 2018 and made its debut at The Kennedy Center in September 2019 as part of the opening of THE REACH Festival. Each holiday season the ensemble hosts multiple Messiah performances which are beloved throughout the region. Venues include collaborations with area music schools, churches and civic organizations.
