Join us for a special jazz evensong featuring Theodicy Jazz Collective and members of The Choir of Trinity Wall Street. Bringing together sounds from jazz and gospel and rhythms from Latin America and Africa, the collective’s music is a shout for joy, a cry for hope, a call to action — and a constant prayer. 

Works by Neely Bruce, John Cage, Rashaan Allwood, Paula Matthusen, and Pamela Decker.

Alcée Chriss, organ.

NOVUS NY and Downtown Voices present the New York premiere of Reena Esmail’s Malhaar: A Requiem for Water, paired with Garth Neustadter’s Memory of Water, which will be performed by The Choir of Trinity Wall Street. A malhar is an Indian raga designed to beckon the rain; Esmail’s A Requiem for Water captures musically the beauty and awe of water while contemplating the fear and despair that surround its loss. As water exists beyond all beginnings and ends, Memory of Water considers the consciousness of water and how it carries in its memory both the splendor and devastation of our world.

The Choir of Trinity Wall Street; Downtown Voices; NOVUS NY; featuring Sandbox Percussion and Shabnam Abedi, soprano; Stephen Sands and Melissa Attebury, conductors
 

For its delightful end-of-season concert, the Trinity Youth Chorus performs a range of music, from folk songs and pop standards to show tunes and a reinterpretation of the Shaker hymn “Simple Gifts.” Conducted by Peyton Marion, Sheridan Stevens, and Shanna Whitney.
