Event

Join the Church of the Ascension and Saint Agnes for a special performance of Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century sacred music.

Our last update was back in August 2025.

Back in September 2016(!!?!!) we shared the news that Wingo’s was coming to the former Angles and Little Fountain space (eternal RIP) in Adams Morgan.
