Elise Bryant, Director
Steve Jones, Music Director
Founded and directed by longtime cultural worker Elise Bryant, the DC Labor Chorus is a musical ensemble that sings at concerts, rallies, demonstrations, and picket lines. While some members are current or former union employees, every member actively supports the principle of liberty and justice for all. Members are of various ages, races, and faith traditions. Some are professional musicians, while others simply enjoy blending their voices to make a joyous sound that comes from songs of the civil rights and labor movements. We sing for solidarity. We sing for peace. We sing for jobs. We sing for justice. We sing for joy!
We rehearse on Mondays between 7 and 9 p.m. Newcomers are always welcome. We invite you to sit in on a rehearsal or two to see if you would like to join us.
