What comes from extreme piety? In all our readings this week, a distinction is made between spiritual and material nourishment. It would be easy to miss the similar contrasts between worship of the institution and of God, the creator, provider, and nurturer.
Today for Comfort at One we continue presenting performances from our 2014 Lenten “Lamentatio” series. Guest conductor Michael Zaugg directs The Choir of Trinity Wall Street in this exploration of darkness and light through the music of Brahms, Lukaszewski, David Lang, and others.
Today for Comfort at One, Trinity Baroque Orchestra members Aisslinn Nosky and Michael Unterman and Trinity's Associate Organist and Chorusmaster Avi Stein play the rhapsodic Gigue from Bach’s E Minor Violin Sonata and an ethereal excerpt from Vivaldi's Violin Sonata in D Minor.
Today for Comfort at One, members of The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and the Trinity Baroque Orchestra, led by Associate Organist Avi Stein, perform Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12, and Wachet! betet! betet! wachet!, BWV 70.
We have concluded based on recent information that Julian Wachner has otherwise conducted himself in a manner that is inconsistent with our expectations of anyone who occupies a leadership position. For this reason, Trinity has decided to end Julian’s employment with Trinity as of today.
During Lent, we will depart from our usual Sunday stories from the lectionary and, instead, offer a different Lenten spiritual practice for your family to try and adopt over the next forty days and nights.
