The Jay Heritage Center in Rye, New York will celebrate America at 250 with a toast to Jay Medal honorees Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annette Gordon-Reed, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard University and award-winning Lincoln historian Harold Holzer.

Joining the celebration will be Chief Judge of the State of New York and the New York Court of Appeals, Honorable Rowan D. Wilson and historian and philanthropist Elihu Rose who will present the awards at JHC's annual Soirée. Special guests will include David Blight, Frank Cogliano, Joanne Freeman, and Beverly Gage.

The Morgan School

What does UNITY mean to you?
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Angelface Records — founded by Clinton residents Joe and Angelica McCarthy — invites the Connecticut community to gather for the first live experience of ONE: For Harmony, For Humanity — a multidisciplinary contemporary jazz album, live performance, and community project by the Latin Grammy®-winning, Grammy®-nominated <a target="_blank" href="https://joemccarthymusic.com" rel="nofollow noopener">New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band</a>. This is an invitation to belong to something — not just to witness it.
The evening begins at 4:00 PM with The ONE Gathering — a community commons featuring UNITY stations, Arts for All Ages, and a shared Community Mural, where families create together and local organizations whose work touches human flourishing — across health, mental health, housing, faith, education, and the arts — are present and in genuine conversation with their neighbors. Every person who walks in is invited to contribute their voice, their creativity, and their art to the project itself.
At 7:00 PM, community performers, including <a target="_blank" href="https://morgan.clintonpublic.net/music" rel="nofollow noopener">The Morgan School Music program</a>, the <a target="_blank" href="https://shorelinetheateracademy.org/" rel="nofollow noopener">Shoreline Theater Academy Kidz Konnection</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PoetLaureateClintonCT/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Poet Laureate of Clinton Bethany Howard</a>, and Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Michael J. Fox, among other special guests open The ONE Concert. The New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band closes the evening with a live preview of ONE: For Harmony, For Humanity — a musical journey toward unity through five original compositions woven together with spoken word and community voices. What is experienced in the room does not end there. The questions, practices, and relationships travel home with you, extending the purpose of ONE beyond the stage. The album records in November 2026 and releases in early 2027.
The Concert is Free and Open to All - General seating. Reserved and accessible seating available.
Want a great seat? Support the production and secure reserved seating in a preferred section with a one-time, tax-deductible donation of $25 or more per seat, through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas: <a target="_blank" href="https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/the-new-york-afro-bop-alliance-recording-project-entitled-one-for-harmony-for-humanity" rel="nofollow noopener">fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/the-new-york-afro-bop-alliance-recording-project-entitled-one-for-harmony-for-humanity</a>
