The Alexandria Singers have come a long way since 1975 when they were founded by 16 Alexandria residents as "The Alexandria Community Singers." Currently, The Singers are the premier “pops” chorus in the Washington, DC area. By day, these 50 talented men and women, of all ages and backgrounds, make the Nation’s Capital hum in varied careers. On stage, they dazzle audiences performing various types of American popular music. Over the decades, the Singers have represented Alexandria abroad and in countless area venues such as the Kennedy Center, Verizon Center, the White House, and DAR Constitution Hall. In addition to their continued focus on artistic excellence, the Singers maintain their commitment to the Alexandria community by singing at local shopping malls, senior centers, and community shelters. Twenty years later, the Singers are better than ever. Their creative musical team, headed by Bill Colosimo (hired in 2007 as the group’s third musical director), beat “Glee” to the punch. The Singers memorize all their music and now perform directly to their audience without a director, weaving songs together through a light-hearted, family friendly story. This artistic challenge greatly enhances the group’s sound, liveliness and stage presence. More important, it delights audiences. The Singers have a proud history and their future is bright. www.AlexandriaSingers.com Performing American popular music, inspiring new generations of singers, and recognized as a premier “pops” chorus that represents quality entertainment for all!
