NOVUS NY and Trinity Wall Street: Beatitudes for a Wounded World

“Our world is wounded. All around us we see the cracks. And yet the world is beautiful and blessed in so many ways.” Trinity’s newly appointed Director of Music, Melissa Attebury, will lead the Trinity Youth Chorus, The Choir of Trinity Wall Street (Pamela Terry, alto; Christopher Dylan Herbert, baritone), and NOVUS NY in a performance of Kim André Arnesen’s Tuvayhun. Taken from the Beatitudes, this work addresses those who might be in need of blessing, with music and texts ancient and new that speak to the universality of our experience.

Take Me to the Water

Musician, creative and scholar Dr. Ashley Jackson pushes the boundaries of genre by unearthing common ground in the traditions of Black America and other musical styles. Her newest curation, Take Me to the Water, is an immersive audio experience that touches on themes from African mythology, the antebellum spiritual tradition and water’s transportive, transmogrifying nature. Driven by Jackson’s “soulful” harp solos (Musical America), and backed by the string ensemble Rootstock Republic, Take Me to the Water celebrates her heritage with music by Margaret Bonds, Alice Coltrane, and Nina Simone.

Take Me to the Water is co-presented by ChamberMusicNY, which provides free concerts to new audiences throughout the city.
