The Charles Engelhard Court, The Met Fifth Avenue
Experience a choral meditation on national identity and freedom.
As composer David Lang researched the world's national anthems, he noticed the lyrics shared a common theme: that freedom is fragile and easily lost. Lang channeled this discovery into his 2014 choral composition the national anthems, a poignant reflection on national identity and finding common ground.
Join us for performances of the national anthems featuring the five-time Grammy-nominated Clarion Choir alongside Grammy winners and 2022–24 MetLiveArts Quartet in Residence Catalyst Quartet in the American Wing's light-filled Charles Engelhard Court.
