June 13, 2026(1 event) Sing Democracy 250 – Sing Democracy 250 is a stirring musical odyssey commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, with performances by choirs across the United States in 2026.

The power of democracy is in the voice of its people, and every voice matters. This concert will feature Together In Hope Choir, the Congressional Chorus, the National Children's Chorus - Scholars Washington, D.C., and the Main Line Symphony Orchestra, with a cameo appearance by Denyce Graves.
