For today’s Comfort at One we bring you 11 performances that were given in commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 from our weekend of music at St. Paul’s Chapel. Ranging from early music to jazz and pop, this musical collage of performances showcases the diversity of Trinity’s programming and the talent of our extended family of musicians who are dedicated to bringing healing and solace to those in need.
Today for Comfort at One, this 2019 Bach + One performance features members of The Choir of Trinity Wall Street alongside Trinity Baroque Orchestra performing J.S. Bach’s Meine Seel erhebt den Herren, BWV 10, and Johann Freidrich Fasch's Concerto in D for Trumpet, Two Oboes and Strings, FaWV L:D1.
