As our city gathers to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, join us for an evening filled with captivating performances, evocative vignettes, and exquisite musical interludes that draw from inspirational voices in the Rosenbach’s collection that have shaped the American experience. The evening’s program will feature artists from The Lantern Theater, a jazz ensemble, and a live auction led by Alasdair Nichol of Freeman’s | Hindman.
This is more than a celebration—it’s a living tribute to the authors, thinkers, and visionaries who defined our nation’s identity. Together, we’ll honor the Rosenbach’s enduring legacy and support its mission to preserve and share the stories that continue to inspire generations.
