This spring, Concerts at One presents Revolutionaries: The late works of Beethoven and Ginastera. This festival celebrates the centennial of Alberto Ginastera by pairing music from his third compositional period with that of fellow revolutionary Ludwig van Beethoven.
To conclude Trinity's spring 2016 Concerts at One cycle, Revolutionaries, The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Trinity Youth Chorus, Downtown Voices, NOVUS NY, and 1B1 join forces, under the leadership of Julian Wachner, for a stunning finale concert of Ginastera's Psalm 150 and Beethoven's monumental Symphony No. 9.
This Third Thursday concert features the award-winning Norwegian string ensemble 1B1, a group dedicated to changing the cultural landscape of the classical music world through progressive performances.
