Sacred Nine Project

We have old 'scores' to settle. By engaging with music, texts, or events from an earlier America, we may shape a future one.Sacred Nine Project strives to pioneer in the curation, creation, and circulation of re(new)ed American music. This term, coined here, almost always refers to a reimagining of early American vocal music (c.1700-1900), that holds relevance for our country today.

Most important: We have applied to sing at a prestigious conference, American Choral Directors Association in Memphis. If we should be chosen (and I believe we have submitted a strong proposal!) we will need upwards of $20,000 for the Sacred Nine Singers to travel. Please help if you can!

Also, there are very exciting and impactful projected coming up. This year we will travel to Connecticut to celebrate in song the life of Hannah Hadassah Hickok. In 2026, we will partner with the University of Pittsburgh to present a musical commemoration of the life and work of Stephen Foster for his 200th birthday. That same year, we will provide a custom concert at Swarthmore College about the murder of Sarah Maria Cornell.
