Through revelatory music and groundbreaking conversations with authors and thinkers, Trinity’s free programming brings our audiences new ways of seeing, and being, in the world. From classical and modern masterpieces to innovative jazz, Trinity’s musical programs are “the top of musical life in New York” (The New York Times). And our Trinity Talks, at the intersection of sacred and civic life, deepen our understanding on issues of religion, social justice, and community.
