SUMMARY:Looking for America: A Soundscape of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Rittenhouse Sound\, Philadelphia’s premier lower-voice a cappella chorus\, invites you to “Looking For America: A Soundscape of Democracy” on Saturday\, June 13th at 4:00 PM\, Philadelphia Ethical Society\, 1906 Rittenhouse Square. \n“Looking For America” is about rediscovering patriotism through a soundscape of song and the spoken word of great American thinkers\, poets\, and dreamers. The concert will use iconic music and beloved narratives to take the community on a journey through the triumphs\, struggles\, and promise of America in this semiquincentennial year.\nThe diverse program opens with the Star Bangled Banner’s questioning “O\, say can you see?” and closes with the determined “Will the Circle Be Unbroken?” In between\, songs range from protest to patriotic\, spiritual to secular\, and peaceful to empowering. Featured verses range from the New Testament to Abigail Adams to Martin Luther King\, Jr to Amanda Gorman. \n“As a community chorus in Philadelphia\, we feel called by these challenging times to reflect on the state of our democracy\,” says Artistic Director Erik Stenswold. “Through spoken word and song\, we hold a mirror of our nation’s past to illuminate the present\, and open a window toward a more hopeful future.” \nTickets are $20. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.rittenhousesound.org. Seating is general admission; doors open at 3:30 PM.
