Phil Kline’s outdoor holiday classic UNSILENT NIGHT — the original winter soundwalk celebrates its 30th anniversary —
Wednesday, December 21 at 7:30 pm
Kline’s luminous 45-minute 4-track soundscape is performed by the public on portable speakers, phones & boom boxes carried through city streets and parks.
The magic begins when the crowd hits PLAY simultaneously, collectively launching four streams of shimmering electronic bell-tones into the night, as the “orchestra” sets off joyously on foot.
Unsilent Night blends modern technology with centuries-old processional music traditions to create a unique composition. The DC event has attracted a growing crowd of participants each year and 2022 is expected to be the biggest soundwalk yet, enveloping the Petworth neighborhood in a nebula of phosphorescent sound.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
WHERE: Meet @ Sherman Cir. in Petworth, 7:30 pm (@ 7th & Crittenden St & Kansas & Illinois Ave NW)
Bring a boombox or speaker, choose your preferred track, & join us for an unforgettable Winter Solstice!
FREE as always
Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night has been presented in 150+ cities across five continents since its debut 30 years ago on the streets of Greenwich Village.”

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!
