The National Anthem Project – 2026

A Regional Call for Voices United Through Harmony

In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the North Star Chorus is launching the National Anthem Project – 2026, a regional initiative bringing together singers from across the region.

This project honors the many cultures, families, and traditions that have shaped our region — from our immigrant roots to the diverse communities who continue to enrich our neighborhoods today. Together, we will raise one voice in a powerful expression of unity through harmony.
