University Singers Trip
Help Send University Singers to
Carnegie Hall!
GW University Singers will be taking their talents to New York City from May 28-31, 2027 to sing a world premiere performance at Carnegie Hall with Arlington Chorale (host organization), and Vivace Children's Choir. This collaborative performance will feature Our Future Four Seasons by Dominick DiOrio, a four-movement piece performed with a professional orchestra, as well as I Share Creation by Bob Chilcott. Highlights of this trip include two days of rehearsals (including dress rehearsal) in Carnegie Hall, a post-concert dinner for the singers, and, of course, the concert itself.
This is an amazing opportunity for University Singers, and the Corcoran Music Program will be using its Choral Endowment Fund to support it. Your contribution will help to cover remaining fees, lodging, and other expenses associated with the trip. Our goal is to lower the cost for all students, and ensure that all singers have the opportunity to participate.
Our Budget
We are hoping to send 40 University Singers on this trip. Our costs, per student are as follows:
- Concert Fees: $1095
- Hotel Package: $360
Total for 40 students: $58,200
The Corcoran Music Program has committed $30,000 from its Choral Endowment fund towards these costs, leaving a remaining balance of $28,200, which will need to be paid by the singers.
Your support will directly lower the cost of participation for all students, and allow us to extend scholarship opportunities to students who otherwise would not be able to attend. Any remaining contributions will be put towards travel and meal expenses, which are not included in the tour package.
Why Your Donation Gifts a Bright Future

✅ Performing in a world premiere on a national stage.
✅ Collaborating with professional conductors, singers, and musicians.
✅ Bringing back knowledge, skills, and relationships to share with the entire GW community.
