“Dalton Potter and Jim Kelly are excited to announce that The Potter Violin Company will be adding an additional location in the summer of 2016. Together, they have purchased the historic landmark, the Blair Mansion, on 7711 Eastern Ave in Silver Spring/Takoma Park. The new store will be over 12,000 square feet and will include expanded showrooms, larger work space for luthiers and a large room for recitals, workshops and meetings. Renovations will start soon and the anticipated grand opening is spring of 2016.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
