A Celebration of American Voices: Honoring 250 Years of Democracy

Join the Oratorio Society's 100-voice chorus, community singers from our morning workshop, and guest youth choir Voces Laetae for an unforgettable evening marking America's 250th anniversary. Presented in partnership with VA250, Virginia's commission for the nationwide America250 initiative, this program celebrates the bipartisan values at the heart of our democracy.

Hear American choral treasures from Irving Berlin, Randall Thompson, and Rosephanye Powell, culminating in Howard Hanson's stirring Song of Democracy.

Proceeds support the Emergency Food Network, continuing our tradition of partnering with local organizations making a difference in our community.

Come lift your spirit, honor our shared history, and help feed your neighbors. This is what democracy sounds like.
