A More Perfect Union
Celebrating 250 Years of Struggle, Hope, and the Ongoing Work of Democracy
April 18 at 7:00 PM, April 19 at 3:00 PM
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn HeightsThis spring, on the verge of the 250th anniversary of American Independence, join Grace Chorale for a stirring program exploring the unfinished symphony of American democracy: its contradictions and courage, its fragility and hope.
A More Perfect Union illuminates the dreams of our country and honors those who fought for our civil rights. At the heart of the program is a powerful anti-war cantata, serving as an anchor for a compelling collection of historic and contemporary voices. Together, these works confront where we've fallen short and celebrate the stories—some resounding, some quietly persistent—of individuals who have challenged injustice and imagined a better future.
