A More Perfect Union: American Stories in Song
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 the start of the American Revolution, join Grace Chorale for a stirring program exploring the unfinished symphony of American democracy: its contradictions and its courage, its precariousness and its hopes.
A More Perfect Union will illuminate the dreams our country represents, honor our civil-rights heroes, and contemplate the uncertainties facing our nation. The concert reflects on where we’ve fallen short; celebrates the stories, some loud, some quiet, of those who have challenged injustice and dreamed of a better future; and envisions how a healthy society can move forward.
This beautiful, moving, and thought-provoking program seeks to help us all understand the promise of the ongoing American project: not merely observing where we’ve been, but discovering a map for where we, as responsible citizens, can and must go.
