Letters to America

What would America look like if we heard from the women whose stories have too often gone untold?

Letters to America is a multi-movement work for soprano and orchestra that offers a fresh, emotionally charged perspective on the American narrative. Created by composer Brittany J. Green and soprano Karen Slack, the project explores the country's founding principles and historic documents through the lens of personal letters and texts gathered from women today. The result is a moving musical journey that speaks to our shared history and the power of individual voice.

Drawing on sources ranging from the Declaration of Independence to contemporary legal decisions, Letters to America invites audiences to reflect on how the American story has been written—and who has been asked to carry it forward.

Developed in partnership with the American Composers Orchestra, the work offers performance and engagement opportunities tailored to orchestras and communities across the country.
