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 New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band. This is an invitation to belong to something — not just to witness it.

The evening begins at 5:00 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 answer the question "What does UNITY mean to you?" Every person who walks in is invited to contribute their voice, their creativity, and their art to the project itself.

At 7:00 PM, The ONE Concert opens with community performances by The Morgan School Jazz Band, the Shoreline Theater Academy Kidz Konnection, Poet Laureate of Clinton Bethany Howard, and Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter Michael J. Fox, among other special guests. 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. RSVP at handstamp.com/e/one-community-concert
