Sing Democracy 250 is a nationwide musical initiative commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence: a movement of resilience, a chorus of hope, and a celebration of the values that define us as Americans. Launching in October 2025 in Philadelphia, PA, Sing Democracy 250 has announced three additional signature choral concerts across cities important to the founding of America. These cities include Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. for their foundational roles in democratic history; New York City, today’s modern cultural capital; and Minnesota, widely regarded as a leading choral center of the United States.
