BWV 147 Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben
BWV 225 Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied
Trinity presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s superlative Mass in B minor, performed by Trinity Baroque Orchestra and The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and conducted by Julian Wachner. Written at the end of his life, the Mass sums the entirety of Bach’s career into a transcendent masterpiece of hope and faith.
Described as “mold-breaking,” “alert and alive,” “dramatic,” and “vital” by The New York Times, Andy Akiho is an eclectic composer and performer of contemporary classical music who spent time busking on the subways with his primary instrument, the steel pan, also known as the steel drum. He will play solo to begin the concert, after which NOVUS NY will perform his works.
