In her Candlelight Baroque recital Comfort from Home, virtuoso violinist Alana Youssefian takes a rare gut string approach to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita for Violin No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004, which includes the beloved and monumental Chaconne.

For today’s Comfort at One, we offer a favorite Bach + One concert from 2018 with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Trinity Baroque Orchestra performing Bach's Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4, and Johann Rudolph Ahle's Magnificat à 8 for choir, cornetto, and three sackbuts.

For American people of color, racism is a major source of stress that takes a toll on both physical and mental health. This includes not only the stress of racist interpersonal encounters, but also the impact of structural and institutional racism on everyday life, which often occurs in ways that are invisible. Join us as we examine some of the effects of racism on well-being among Black and Indigenous People of Color, as well as some of the work being done to combat the harm of racism in our communities.

Today’s Comfort at One presents the New York premiere of a new work Invisible Labor by renowned composer and NOVUS NY violist Jessica Meyer. Invisible Labor is a response to the NY Times February feature "The Primal Scream" about the hardships working mothers have faced this past year during the pandemic.
