From WMATA:
Metro’s Art in Transit program will hold auditions on July 17 for MetroPerforms!, live performances at Metrorail stations.
MetroPerforms! invites local performers of all genres—singers, dancers, musicians, poets and more—to showcase their talents at select Metrorail station entrances. In addition, for the first time, artists selected for MetroPerforms! will be invited to perform at the Music on the Mall program, developed by Metro in cooperation with the National Park Service and Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.
The auditions will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17, at Metro headquarters, 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Performances at Metro stations and the Mall will take place from July through September. Selected artists will perform on a volunteer basis and are expected to adhere to performance guidelines set by Metro.
Performers selected to participate in MetroPerforms! must cooperate with Metrorail station managers and Metro Transit Police to ensure that performances do not compromise station access and the safety of Metro customers and the general public. In addition, performers must pass a background check and will not be permitted to sell merchandise or solicit in any way while performing.

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!
