The Columbia Pike Community Chorus (CPCC) was established in 2004 with a vision to provide an opportunity for people of all ethnicities, belief systems and musical abilities to come together with their neighbors in an experience that would promote harmony, friendship and fun.  Open to all, with or without vocal training, the Chorus welcomes new and returning singers from around the metropolitan area.

Since its inception, the CPCC has performed in many concerts, including seven The World Sings...  programs of global music reflecting the ethnic diversity of this area; two black Heritage Museum of Arlington benefit concerts, Songs of the Soul and Changed My Name; An Evening With Amadeus with the Arlington United Methodist Church orchestra; A Celebration of Mozart with the McLean Youth Orchestra; Holiday on the Pike at the Arlington Cinema 'n' Drafthouse; the first annual Taste of the Pike international festival; A Place for YOUth,  a Children's Defense Fund benefit; the Christmas portion of Messiah; Music from the Best of Broadway; and Songs of the People.  They have had as their guests the Washington-Lee High School Madrigals, the Arlingtones Barbershop Chorus and many area soloists and instrumentalists. 

The MusiKids

In 2007, the Columbia Pike MusiKids was established to provide a musical community and venue for young music-lovers.  Participation is open to children in grades 1 through 5; no auditions are required; and all are welcome.  The MusiKids have performed in six concerts: in The World Sings Peace, The World Sings December, and The World Celebrates Light with the CPCC, A Place for YOUth with five other area youth and children’s choirs, Music from the Best of Broadway, and Songs of the People.
