Dawn Landes: Well, I Declare: America at 250
Well, I Declare: America at 250 is a special concert and live reading of the Declaration of Independence led by North Carolina musician Dawn Landes. The event is part of the nationwide "America 250" celebration and features a collaborative team of singer-songwriters responding to the document's founding ideals through song.
Presented by PineCone (Piedmont Council of Traditional Music), this performance examines whether America lives up to its founding ideals 250 years later. The show combines Wiley's narration with "thoughtful, provocative, and playful" musical reactions, utilizing songs both new and old that address generations of struggle and calls for change.
