On Wednesdays throughout Lent, we will be presenting our Lenten “Lamentatio” series from 2014, an exploration of darkness and light through the music of Philip Glass, Shostakovich, and others. Today’s Comfort at One presents Lamentatio 1 featuring The Choir of Trinity Wall Street with works by Ockehgam, Ginastera, di Lassus and Krenek.
Today’s Comfort at One is a clip of Julian Wachner’s Holy, Holy, Holy from “Singing our Song,” a 2019 concert that featured all of Trinity’s choirs: The Choir of Trinity Wall Street, Trinity Youth Chorus, Downtown Voices, and St. Paul’s Chapel Choir, accompanied by musicians from NOVUS NY.
For today’s Comfort at One, we offer a favorite Bach + One concert with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Trinity Baroque Orchestra performing Bach's Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden, BWV 6, and Telemann's Concerto for 3 Oboes, 3 Violins and Continuo, TWV 44:43.
You are cordially invited to the Institution and Induction of the Reverend Phillip A. Jackson as XIX Rector of the Parish of Trinity Church in the city of New-York at 11am, Saturday, February 26, in Trinity Church.
The sermon will be given by the Rt. Rev. Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis, and former member of Trinity Church Wall. Street.
The service will be held in person and livestreamed at trinitywallstreet.org and Trinity's Facebook page.
Please note that in order to welcome as many guests as possible to this joyous event, we will ease capacity limits in Trinity Church and will not be socially distancing. All guests will be required to present proof of vaccination (guests must be 14 days past your last dose); to wear a KN95 or N95 mask throughout the event; and to undergo health and security screening before entering the church. We encourage guests to bring their own KN95 or N95 mask; Trinity also will have masks on hand. We also recommend that guests self-test within 24 hours of the event.
If you are in a high-risk group or feel uncomfortable attending in person, we invite you to share in this celebration online at trinitywallstreet.org or at Trinity’s Facebook page.
Today’s soul-stirring Comfort at One is beautifully performed by mezzo-soprano Pamela Terry from The Choir of Trinity Wall Street in collaboration with virtuoso pianist Aaron Diehl. Enjoy this stunning set of songs by the inspirational Mary Lou Williams, the "First Lady of Jazz" and the "Mother of Bepop."
