In January 2003, the Washington County Arts Choir (formerly known as Washington Community Arts Choir) was born under the direction of Arnold Brock. Our choir is now in its sixth year of operation as a performing arts organization and cultural addition to Washington County. WCAC continues to set the standard for choral excellence and innovative vocal entertainment in Southwestern PA. Singing for over 178,000 people, over the last six years, we have held spring, summer and Christmas concerts performed at the Olin Fine Arts Center at W&J College. The group has also given guest performances, in addition to ticketed performances, for the Washington Wild Things, the Pittsburgh River Hounds soccer team, the Pittsburgh Colts semipro football team, and the Traveling Vietnam Wall, as well as singing the National Anthem for the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park for five years.
Other community event performances include singing at the Olde Fashioned Christmas celebration, held at the Washington County Courthouse, singing with The Washington Symphony Orchestra, performing at the Regional Rotary Annual Banquet, and also at several other venues in the Washington area. The choir has brought professional artists to its audiences including John D’Amico and the jazz group Trio Bravo and the incomparable Joe Negri. Joining us for our Messiah Concert, in December 2007, were the National and Internationally renowned soloists Melanie Vaccari, Tami Fire, Jonathan Boyd and Sebastian Catana, accompanied by the River City Chamber Orchestra.
