I, Too, Am America

I, Too, Am America is the culminating concert of the “I, Too, Sing America Project,” a multi-year collaboration between Cathedral Choral Society and Heritage Signature Chorale that has explored African American contributions to the nation’s musical culture. This performance presents brand‑new orchestral commissions and two world premieres by a new generation of Black composers—Michael Abels, John Stoddart, and Jessie Montgomery. Set against the backdrop of the United States’ semiquincentennial celebrations, the concert invites audiences to consider the United States not as a finished work but as a story still being written. The program takes place at Washington National Cathedral on a single evening.
