State of the Unity offers an abundance of empathy and compassion. However, what I also appreciated about 'State of the Unity' is its honesty."

• THE INDEPENDENT CRITIC

Is unity possible? This simple question launched the Brooklyn-based band The Bergamot on a quest to all 50 States to unite people with music, community, and collaboration.

Join us for an unforgettable screening of the award-winning film State of the Unity. Not only will you experience this exceptional film, but you'll also have the unique opportunity to meet The Bergamot, Jillian Speece, and Nathaniel Paul Hoff, who both directed and starred in the film. The Bergamot will do a Q&A and three song acoustic performance after the film.

What began as a simple idea in the band's touring vehicle, brought about a profound revelation. How do we reframe the way we perceive and understand unity? For it is not a shared narrative of a future, but a narrative of a shared future, that can unite us together; says David Hooker Ph.D. How the duo connected people, with that exact vehicle they were sitting in, started a conversation that continues to this day. Join them in this timely 50,000-mile tour in human understanding, perseverance, and empathy that changed their lives forever.

VIP's are invited to join The Bergamot pre-show for a reception in the City Opera House's Bohemian Social Club with small bites and an additional live acoustic performance!
