About The Group
The Siena Sacred Music Academy consists of 12 professional singers from the greater Washington DC area, many of whom are members of the armed services bands, teach at area universities or sing professionally in the area. As openings become available, membership is advertised regionally and open to all singers regardless of religious or non-religious affiliation. The purpose of the society is to provide quality classical sacred music weekly to the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena in Great Falls, VA. The Siena Sacred Music Academy also provides music to churches in the Northern Virginia area and to the Great Falls Community through concerts and special events.
