Atlanta Freedom Bands’ Concert Band will mark our nation’s 250th anniversary with a concert titled “Americans We: Celebrating Our Shared Story in Music”. Taking place on Saturday, June 20, at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College, this Semiquincentennial musical offering features a diverse array of composers representing a wide array of American voices in music.

This will NOT be your typical patriotic concert. We have something unique to offer our community. Our concert celebrates the diversity, the varied voices, and shared stories that make up our country. The music will challenge, inform, entertain, and delight.

The program’s centerpiece is the premiere of a work AFB has commissioned for the occasion, “We the People” by Christopher Kyle Green.

The program features legendary composers such as Florence Price and Aaron Copland paired with today’s counterparts such as Erica Svanoe, Quincy Hilliard, Omar Thomas, and Chandler Wilson. The selections tell the stories of women who dared to expand beyond their traditional roles, the achievements of the African American community, Marsha P. Johnson (an important early activist in the transgender community), and more.

Led by Artistic Director O’Shae Best in his first season with the ensemble, AFB’s Concert Band will bring these stories spanning the breadth of our nation to life.
