Trinity’s new-music orchestra, NOVUS, continues its series of works that grapple with vital social issues. This season’s NOVUS Renewal: Shelter concerts highlight the experiences of the unhoused and the complex systemic failures that lead to homelessness. 

Opening the series is the New York premiere of Gabriel Kahane’s oratorio, emergency shelter intake form. With a libretto based on the questionnaire given to those seeking a bed, the work is a searing portrait of the fear, humiliation, and profound challenges associated with being unhoused in America.

The Trinity Choir performs one of Bach’s most complex choral pieces, Jesu, meine Freude (“Jesus, my Joy”) as well as two modern Gabriel Kahane pieces of the same title: We are the Saints. The first Kahane work (a New York premiere) grapples with our relationship with nature. The second, a world premiere arrangement of the composer's popular song, weaves personal narratives and social commentary into a compelling reflection on homelessness. 

This special Bach at One is part of the 2024–25 NOVUS Renewal: Shelter series, which highlights the experience of the unhoused and the complex systemic failures that lead to homelessness.

Organist Nicole Keller has performed in venues around the globe, including St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Cathédrale Notre-Dame, and The Kazakh National University for the Arts. The assistant professor of music at the University of Michigan is also in demand as an instructor and guest lecturer, most recently at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and Yale University. She is known for bringing a freshness to pieces old and new, especially Bach and such 20th-century American composers as Florence Price and Calvin Hampton. 

Join us to celebrate the birthday of late jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, with the Dizzy Gillespie Afro-Latin Experience directed by John Lee. The concert promises to be a rousing tribute to one of jazz’s great ambassadors: trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and bebop king. 

This season’s Jazz at One, Long Walk to Freedom, is inspired by Nelson Mandela and the 30th anniversary of South African democracy. Presented in collaboration with JAZZ HOUSE KiDS.
