The Award Show

After two consecutive years of virtual productions, The MusicianShip's Wammie Awards plans to return in person for its 35th Annual Award Show on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Award festivities will take place in D.C.'s newest, historic, and state-of-the-art entertainment venue: Capital Turnaround, located in South East Washington, D.C, just a stones throw away from the Washington Navy Yard.  This venue features a sprawling Main Hall, a 1,000 person auditorium, exposed brick Green Rooms, and breakout spaces. With The MusicianShip offices based in Anacostia, they are committed to bringing even more music events and experiences to Wards 7 & 8 - D.C.'s lowest-funded wards for arts & entertainment.  The Musicianship seeks to raise $5,000 at the awards show on behalf of our free music education programs.
