Raise It Up! Anthem for America

Chorus America and the Kennedy Center partner with the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on a spectacular event honoring the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner.

This concert on the terrace of the Museum's Mall entrance will feature celebrity singers, the U.S. Air Force Band and Singing Sergeants, and a mass choir conducted by Eric Whitacre and Francisco J. Núñez. Arrangements for the mass choir, including recruitment and travel, have been made by Classical Movements, the official touring company for Voices of Our Nation. The event will be webcast so that people around the United States can add their voices to a 4:00 p.m. sing-a-long of the national anthem.
