Description
Downtown Voices and NOVUS present an evening of powerful, thought-provoking music with the world premiere of Stephen Main’s The Image and Jessie Montgomery’s Divided. Composed for solo cello and orchestra, Divided captures the emotional turmoil of a world grappling with racial injustice, poverty, and climate change. Expanding on the theme of individual dignity, The Image reflects on humanity’s struggle for liberty and justice across history, warning of the fragility of these ideals in the face of rising authoritarianism.

Description
Compline by Candlelight is an ancient rite of prayers to end the day; Compline means "completion." Set in the tranquility of St. Paul’s Chapel, one of the oldest buildings in New York City, Trinity's 30-minute Compline service is unique in that all who enter hold a candle and simply listen to Downtown Voices beautifully improvise the Compline nighttime prayers in song. There's nothing to do but be.
