Tiny Concerts: Heinrich Schütz

Hear a 45-minute program of early music in the small, English Gothic–style sanctuary tucked off Trinity’s nave. Trinity Choir and organist Avi Stein perform Musikalische Exequien, op. 7, by the great German composer Heinrich Schütz — a funeral piece that parallels the traditional Latin requiem in expressing mortality, comfort, and hope. The collection of motets, one of the finest choral cycles of the 17th century, had a far-reaching impact. Bach’s Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, an homage to this style, is also on the program.

The Image

Downtown Voices and NOVUS present an evening of powerful, thought-provoking music with the world premiere of Stephen Main’s The Image and Jessie Montgomery’s Divided. Composed for solo cello and orchestra, Divided captures the emotional turmoil of a world grappling with racial injustice, poverty, and climate change. Expanding on the theme of individual dignity, The Image reflects on humanity’s struggle for liberty and justice across history, warning of the fragility of these ideals in the face of rising authoritarianism.

You’ll note a similar style while listening to Bach’s Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf.

Hear award-winning vocalist and composer Andromeda Turre, whose work seamlessly blends the rich traditions of jazz with bold contemporary narratives.
