Kicking off the 2023 concert season, Trinity’s semi-professional choir, Downtown Voices, presented a special Compline by Candlelight with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Stephen Sands, conductor. Following the theme of Mahatma Ghandi’s quote, “In the midst of darkness light persists,” during Lent our concerts will explore empathy for others’ suffering and the hope that Easter and Christ’s return bring. In featuring Caroline Shaw’s piece “To the Hands,” we will open our hands and hearts to others and seek healing together.

Compline by Candlelight is an ancient rite of prayers to end the day, set in the tranquility of St. Paul’s Chapel, one of the oldest buildings in New York City. Can’t make it? Learn more about our Compline podcasts—a way to incorporate this centering ritual from wherever you are.
Trinity showcases its vast community of artists with Four Last Songs Reimagined. NOVUS NY and the Experiential Orchestra present Richard Strauss’s beloved Vier letzte Lieder with Grammy® Award-winning soprano and former Trinity choir member Sarah Brailey, followed by an immersive, reimagined version with prolific cellist Andrew Yee. A member of the Grammy® Award-winning Attacca Quartet, she is also an in-demand soloist and a principal cellist of NOVUS NY.
Through a truly intimate seating arrangement, audience members become a part of the concert through extreme proximity to the artists, with ticketed seats placed all around and inside the orchestra members’ seating. Between the two iterations, the duo of soloists perform music from Trinity alumna Caroline Shaw. James Blachly, Grammy® Award-winning Music Director of Experiential Orchestra and former member of the Trinity choir, conducts.
