Renewal: The Sound of a New World Concert | Trinity Church

Details

Renewal: The Sound of a New World Concert will be presented by NOVUS NY and Sandbox Percussion on Sunday, December 3, at 4pm, at Trinity Church in New York City. This eco-minded concert will feature works by talented composers Viet Cuong and Jessica Meyer, among others. Cuong's composition, Re(new)al, is a percussion quartet concerto that draws inspiration from renewable energy and promotes themes of collaboration and synergy for a brighter future. Meyer's piece, A Passage Between Earth and Sky, beautifully captures the lifecycle of a tree, incorporating the destructive impact of human actions. Additionally, attendees will experience A Forest Unfolding, a collaborative eco-cantata that weaves together works by various composers and writers, including Richard Powers, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Overstory, advocates for climate activism and resistance. Following the concert, a special reception will be held, providing an opportunity to engage further with the artists and fellow attendees. This performance is part of Trinity's Renewal concert series, which delves into important social issues such as prison reform, the climate crisis, and immigration through the power of music. Registration for this event is free, but seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open at 3:30pm.
