# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Music Worcester Presents: America’s 250th
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Music Worcester celebrates America’s 250th anniversary with a program highlighting how music can connect us, with pieces specially selected by Artist-in-Residence Everett McCorvey.

The concert will bring together singers from The Soldiers’ Chorus of The U.S. Army Field Band, the First Unitarian Church of Worcester Choir, the Worcester Children’s Chorus, and the Bridgewater State University Choral Society.

The program includes works by Ludwig Beethoven and Margaret Bonds and others. Both Beethoven and Bonds each wrote music that defines a different part of personhood. Bonds’ Credo is a seven-movement work, setting to music W.E.B. Du Bois’ 1904 civil rights text that celebrates racial justice and equality; the final movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony (Ode to Joy) is both recognizable across the globe and includes themes of connectedness and humanity: “All people become brothers, Where thy gentle wing abides.”

In his 2026-2027 Artist-in-Residency, Everett McCorvey’s goal was to work with as many area ensembles as time would allow: student choirs, professional ensembles, and everything in between. Music Worcester’s celebration of America’s 250th is a reflection of that goal, and was curated to bring artists and audiences together through music. The more time there is for collaboration, the less time there is for confrontation.

Program:
Margaret Bonds, edited by John Michael Cooper – Credo
Ludwig van Beethoven – Symphony No. 9, mvt 4 “Ode to Joy”
