Free Event
US Botanical Gardens — 100 Maryland Ave SW Washington DC
Original music composed by Bluebrain
RSVP and tell us your preferred format (cassette, CD or MP3)The very first Bluebrain event happened 3 years ago here in DC when a call went out for people to bring cassette boomboxes to Dupont Circle. Inspired by composer Phil Kline, participants were each handed a different cassette tape, each containing a different track of a larger piece of music, composed specifically for the event. After a countdown, participants hit play together and walked around the city, creating a roving orchestra on dozens of portable speakers. The following year, the project was expanded to include musical contributions from other artists and was staged on the National Mall during the annual Cherry Blossom festival. Thanks to the US Botanic Gardens, we will be holding a third boombox walk — this time, in the most beautiful indoor venue we can imagine. This will mark the end of the series.
Thank you to all those who’ve come to one, or to both boombox walks — or any other Bluebrain events since we started this three years ago. Let’s make this the biggest sounding one yet.
PLEASE RVSP to [email protected] (and tell us what device you’ll be bringing: cassette boombox, CD player or MP3) to reserve your track in the format of your chosing.

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!
