Perry Belmont

Today, Chamber Dance Project, Washington's premier contemporary dance company now in its eighth season, announced its return to live performances with its summer season featuring five world premieres.

On Sunday, March 3rd, a spectacular concert and champagne reception took place at the resplendent Perry Belmont House, featuring famed tenor Anthony Kearns of the PBS sensation, The Irish Tenors, to kick off the Irish season.

On March 3, 2019 at 4 pm, guests had the extraordinary opportunity to visit the Perry Belmont House at 1618 New Hampshire Ave NW. The house is on the official 'Hidden History of Washington DC' list of the Architect of the Capital. Built at the end of the Gilded Age (in 1907) by Perry Belmont, who served in Congress and also as an ambassador to Spain. It reflects the immense wealth and European taste of the age. It was used primarily for entertaining during the Washington social season when the Congressman and his wife were in town, although the Perry's were also at the forefront of societal change such as the suffragette movement. The architecture and furnishings are nothing short of sensational, as shown here.

The Perry Belmont House, an architectural gem in the nation's Capital, will host a spectacular kick-off to this year's Irish celebration - and the spring social season -- with a highly-anticipated performance by renowned tenor Anthony Kearns of The Irish Tenors on Sunday afternoon, March 3, 2019.
