Schiller Chorus board member Megan Debrodt announced exciting plans for 2026, the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence and also the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the nation. It will consist of programs of Beethoven, Schiller, Brahms and the art of the Negro Spiritual as the unique American genre of classical music as developed in the 1890s through the collaboration of Harry T. Burleigh with Antonin Dvorak at Jeannette Thurber's National Conservatory of Music in New York City.
