"We want bread, but we want roses too!"

We began in 1978 as the DC Area Feminist Chorus, were known as Bread and Roses Feminist Singers from 1983 to the fall of 2009, and became Fortissima in October 2009.

We have the same committment to music and social justice regardless of the name.

We are open to all sopranos and altos, regardless of gender, and without audition.

Highlights: January 2013 concert
