Tenebrae, Lamentations

Singing Shadows. The New Yorker, April 15, 2013.

Videos of TENET's Lamentations series are archived on Trinity Wall Street's website; here is the Buxtehude Membra Jesu Nostri. TENET's website gives details of upcoming performances, including a Bach Mass in B Minor at Grace Church in May. Trinity's festival of the sacred works of Stravinsky takes place on April 26-28; this will be the first New York performance of Threni in many years. Coming to Trinity in the fall is a sprawling survey of the music of Benjamin Britten, mostly in the form of weekly lunchtime concerts. Details are yet to be announced, but expect to hear a great many Britten works seldom performed in these parts.
