The Cathedral Choral Society is the resident symphonic chorus of
Washington National Cathedral.  The 240-voice chorus is the oldest choral
group in Washington, having been founded in 1941 by Paul Callaway who
served as music director until 1984.  Since 1985, J.  Reilly Lewis has
conducted the Society in musical masterpieces from plainsong to contemporary
works.  Their four major concerts each season are often performed with
full symphony orchestra.  Since its founding, the Cathedral Choral Society

Society, and has maintained a tradition of showcasing both promising
young soloists and internationally known artists.  More about them at
