O, America – a tribute to American Unity

This particular theme is one that has been in consideration for a couple of years now, and our team feels strongly that now is the time to offer it to our community. Our intention is to remember and remind each other of what we have to be proud of as Americans regardless of political identity, and to acknowledge and honor the good and the bad of our history and heritage.

“O, America” is designed to restore a sense of optimism and reverence for the origin and identity of our nation, as well as a motivation to contribute to unifying efforts and healing in the midst of political divide and unrest. We aim to unite, to increase understanding, and to encourage critical thought by offering newly framed common ground on which to find some unity with one another. By using our collective voice through various musical contexts and our country’s own musical history, we want to acknowledge the complicated emotions about patriotism that are relevant to many in our community, and offer a sense of optimism for the possibility of true healing from political contention.

We look forward to sharing our work with you.
