Last year, Nolan led his NEWorks Voices of America in a powerful performance of The Gathering: A Collective Sonic Ring Shout at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Directed by Jonathan McCrory, the concert was a collaborative production between the National Black Theatre, the Apollo Theater, the American Composers Orchestra, and The Kennedy Center.

Now, a new documentary chronicling the creation of this groundbreaking work—The Gathering: A Journey to Grace—is airing nationwide on PBS. Click here to read the BroadwayWorld article, and watch the full episode below:

Leading up to our national election, Nolan curated FREEDOM ADVANCES, a non-partisan media campaign purposed to encourage full voter participation this election cycle. Campaign assets included his award-winning civic anthem, “Rise Up & Fight;” celebrity bumpers featuring luminaries like Debbie Allen, Norm Lewis, Carla Hall, and more; 30- to 60-second PSAs; and Rise Up Song Challenge videos created by local artists nationwide to mobilize voters to make their voices heard at the polls. The campaign reached millions and has subsequently earned top honors, including a 2024 Davey Awards Silver Prize and a 2025 AVA Digital Arts Awards Platinum Prize both for "Best Social Campaign."
