Washington Chorus brings a feeling of Christmas

When holiday concert week strikes with rehearsals every night, busy D.C. executive Mark Rebstock prepares for his nonpaying job with the prestigious Washington Chorus. “There’s nothing like it,” he said. “It amazes me that 190 people are able to make this commitment throughout the year. But we do and it’s a testament to how much we love doing it.”

Rebstock refers to the chorus’ annual performance, “A Candlelight Christmas,” beginning its run on Saturday with nightly presentations at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall and one performance at the Music Center at Strathmore.
