At some point a lot of guys realize they don’t really have a friend group anymore.

Not in a dramatic way. Friends move away, people get busy, and actually seeing the same guys regularly almost never happens.

5th Annual Paul Robeson Commemoration

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing.

Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services.

The Capitol Hill Chorale is proud to share Zoltan Kodály’s masterpiece “Psalmus Hungaricus” in collaboration with the Washington Saxophone Quartet.

Kodály wrote the piece against the devastating backdrop of post-World War I Hungary, weaving traditional Hungarian musical motifs with the biblical story of King David. The result is an impassioned plea for justice.
