As Rosh Hashanah comes to a close, National Chorale extends its warmest wishes to all who have welcomed the Jewish New Year.

May the year ahead bring peace where it is needed, hope where it has been tested and moments of sweetness shared with the people we hold dear. May it also remind us of the power of community — of listening to one another, lifting one another up and finding harmony even in uncertain times.

To our Jewish friends, artists, audience members and loved ones: may 5787 be a year of health, renewal, reflection and joy.

Shanah Tovah U’Metukah — wishing you a good and sweet New Year. 🍎🍯

Twenty-five years have passed since the September 11 attacks, but time has not diminished the enormity of what was lost that day — or the lives forever changed in its aftermath.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who never made it home. We hold close the survivors, and the families and friends who have carried that loss through the years.

We also honor the first responders who ran toward danger to save people they had never met — and all those who continue to step into moments of fear and uncertainty because someone else needs help.

September 11 remains part of our collective memory. It changed families, communities, a city, a nation and the course of history.

In 2021, National Chorale joined The United States Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus for 9/11: A Musical Remembrance. Today, we invite you to revisit that performance with us and remember through music.
