About the Baltimore Men’s Chorus

Since its founding in 1984, the Baltimore Men’s Chorus has performed across the country and remained a meaningful part of Baltimore’s musical life. Over the years, the group has built a welcoming space for singers and audiences alike, dedicated to artistic excellence and positive community impact through music, building community, and creating a safe, welcoming space for singers of all backgrounds. We celebrate diversity and inclusion,

Our musical director, Malcolm Washington, has served as the Director of Choral Activities at Hammond High School in the Howard County Public School System for six years. Before Hammond, he taught general and choral music at Elkridge Elementary School. Malcolm’s love of vocal music began in the Black church, where he learned to sing Gospel music. He later developed an affinity for classical singing through school music programs in central New Jersey.

Mr. Washington earned his Bachelor of Music in Vocal Music Education from the University of Delaware, where he studied with Dr. Paul Head and Dr. Duane Cottrell. While at UD, Malcolm was a member of the UD Men’s Chorus, the YChromes Men’s A Cappella group, and the world-renowned UD Chorale.
