As featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes!

$7 TICKETS AT THE DOOR!

Equity Arc presents a powerful afternoon of classical music showcasing exceptional pre-college and collegiate musicians of color from over 80 U.S. cities. This inspiring concert highlights the next generation of talent through dynamic works by composers like Tchaikovsky, Florence Price, Jessie Montgomery, and more.

This concert comes almost exactly one year to the date (May 4, 2025) when Equity Arc’s Wind Symphony was supposed to perform alongside the U.S. Marine Band “The President’s Own”(USMB), but was cancelled due to President Trump’s executive order entitled “Ending Radical and Wasteful DEI Programs and Preferencing.” The story got national attention and was featured on CBS's 60 Minutes with Scott Peley when, in the wake of the cancellation, Equity Arc contacted retired members of the premier military and military academy bands to recreate both the mentoring and performing experiences in Washington, DC previously scheduled for the students. That concert was closed to the public, but this one is wide-open with subsidized tickets at only $7 when you purchase at the door! Join us!
