On Boxing Day, December 26th, at 1PM, I will read from Auden’s “Christmas Oratorio” as well as from my own poems alongside performances of Bach cantatas by The Trinity Choir and Baroque Orchestra conducted by Julian Wachner at St. Paul’s 9/11 Chapel at 209 Broadway (Broadway/Fulton), New York 10007, 212-602-0800.

For more information, visit Bach at One.

“Opened in 1766, St. Paul’s Chapel is Manhattan’s oldest public building in continuous use, a place where George Washington worshiped and 9/11 recovery workers received round-the-clock care. Part of the Episcopal Parish of Trinity Church, St. Paul’s is a center for worship and the arts, a community of reconciliation, and a place of pilgrimage for all people.”

Read stories about the concert and poetry series in the New York Times here and here.

You may purchase Johann Sebastian Bach, Complete Motets recorded by the Trinity Choir and Trinity Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Julian Wachner
for $13.00 by clicking on the CD cover.

Bach’s seven motets represent the continuation of a long and distinguished tradition of vocal composition, dating back to the late medieval works of Dufay. They represent the apogee of the genre and are Bach’s most demanding vocal works. The present recording is the first in a new series with the musical forces of Trinity Wall Street, conducted by Julian Wachner. It was released in observance of the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001.
