You searched for Neely Bruce - Youth Journalism International

1 day ago

We're getting excited about the Sept. 22 'Bill of Rights' concert in Auburn, Maine.
We're thrilled that composer Neely Bruce will be on hand to conduct his Constitution Choir in singing "The Bill of Rights: Ten Amendments in Eight Motets," a piece he wrote more than a decade ago to help Americans learn their rights.
And we're happy that U.S. Sen. Angus King plans to be on hand to talk about the Bill of Rights as well.
Thanks so much to those who have already stepped up to sponsor the event, among them our top backer, the First Amendment Museum at the Gannett House as well as the Maine Humanities Council and the Sun Journal.
There are others, too who are making this possible that we will highlight in the days and weeks ahead.'
It's going to take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22 at the First Universalist Church of Auburn, Unitarian Universalist. There is no charge to attend, but if you want to donate to help Youth Journalism International continue its 25-year effort to educate young journalists across the world, that would be awesome.
We expect a big crowd for the Maine premiere of Bruce's beautiful composition, which has been performed in many places over the years, including Faneuil Hall, Boston and the Newseum in Washington.
Anyone who is interested in advertising in the program should reach out to us soon.
