A More Perfect Union
Celebrating 250 Years of Struggle, Hope, and the Ongoing Work of Democracy
April 18 and 19, 2026
St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church, Brooklyn Heights
This 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, honors those who fought for our civil rights, and contemplates the uncertainties facing our nation. The concert reflects on where we’ve fallen short and celebrates the stories — some resounding, some quietly persistent — of individuals and communities who have challenged injustice and imagined a better future.
Grace Chorale of Brooklyn’s spring program affirms that democracy is not a static achievement, but a living project — one sustained through the ongoing, intentional work of its citizens. Rather than merely observing where we've been or accepting where we are, A More Perfect Union invites us to envision our path forward to pursue peace, abundance, and the enduring promise of the American dream.
