Jazz at One: Andromeda Turre

The award-winning jazz vocalist visits Trinity

Hear award-winning vocalist and composer Andromeda Turre, whose work seamlessly blends the rich traditions of jazz with bold contemporary narratives. The daughter of trombonist Steve Turre and cellist Akua Dixon, Turre was raised in the heart of New York City and immersed in the artistry of legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Charles, and Wynton Marsalis. Trained at the Boston Conservatory and Berklee College of Music, Turre draws on classical, contemporary, and theatrical influences to create a singular voice in jazz. Her latest project, From the Earth, is a groundbreaking jazz suite addressing environmental justice and the impact of climate change on marginalized communities.

Pipes at One: Emily Dawn Amos

French music and orchestral transcriptions

Emily Dawn Amos is a prize-winning organist and recent graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music. She began studying organ at age eight. By age nine, she became the youngest musician ever admitted into a “Pipe Organ Encounter” — an outreach program run by the American Guild of Organists that provides instruction and exposure to notable organists and instruments. Amos currently studies with Ken Cowan at Rice University and will play a program of French music and orchestral transcriptions.  

Bach at One

A sacred work of mourning and comfort  

This afternoon, hear 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. This collection of motets, one of the finest choral cycles of the 17th century, had a far-reaching impact. You’ll note a similar style while listening to Bach’s Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf.  

Trinity Choir; led by Avi Stein, organ

The Image

Downtown Voices and NOVUS present two works exploring the tension between chaos and hope

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. 

Stephen Sands, conductor

Tiny Concerts: Heinrich Schütz

A sacred work of mourning and comfort

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.

Jazz at One: Dave Stryker Quartet

The singular jazz guitarist brings his golden tone to Trinity.

Hear a jazz quartet led by “one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years” (The Village Voice). Dave Stryker is known for his “golden tone, urgent style, and the kind of heated technique that can blow the roof off any gig” (Jazz Times). The Omaha, Nebraska native cut his teeth as a featured sideman with organist Jack McDuff and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and has released many celebrated albums as a bandleader, including As We Are and Groove Street.
