Reflect

The Arlington Chorale is proud to present their March concert, Reflect! As America turns 250, what does it mean to be a citizen? Two powerful world premieres challenge us to examine our past, claim our present, and shape our future through the power of song. "Redeem the Dream" by Brandon A. Boyd sets Langston Hughes' stirring poem "Let America Be America Again" - a call to bridge the gap between our democratic ideals and lived reality. "US" by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm explores the ten obligations of good citizenship, weaving together voices from across American history to create a roadmap for renewing democracy. Deepen your connection to democracy and discover your voice in America's ongoing story. This project was supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250), and the National Endowment for the Arts/America250.
