Springtime is feeling especially hopeful this year. After a dreary winter — and an all-around dreary 2020 — life in D.C. is slowly revealing signs of pre-pandemic normalcy.
The iconic National Cathedral is embracing this feeling of hope with Michael Pendry’s “Les Colombes” (The Doves) art installation.
Experience (in person!) the cascading column of 2,000 origami doves flying through the Cathedral’s nave. Each dove is inscribed with prayers and messages of hope and are colorfully illuminated by the stained glass.
You can reserve a daytime exhibit walk, or experience the doves at night. Tickets are available in 15-minute increments to help facilitate social distancing.
You can also attend “Hope Floats: A Night of Storytelling Beneath the Doves” on Wednesday, May 19, at 7 p.m. Settle into the Cathedral’s nave and take in stories of hope, renewal and light. Attend in person or sit in virtually.
This exhibit is only available for a limited time, so go online soon to reserve a spot for your visit to see the Doves.

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!
