Bach at One in St. Paul’s Chapel
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
The Trinity Choir and Baroque Orchestra rehearse in St. Paul’s chapel.
We’re in New York tonight preparing for tonight’s live event with Hendrik Hertzberg, Serene Jones, and Pankaj Mishra. The subject? Reflecting on 9/11 and who we want to become as a people and a society as we think forward about the next decade. The location?
St. Paul’s Chapel near Ground Zero, a centering place of refuge and aid for rescue workers and volunteers.
Performing a sound check, we got a great surprise: the Trinity Choir and the Trinity Baroque Orchestra rehearsing for their daily Bach at One concert. So, this week’s Tuesday evening melody is a bit rawer, an on-the-ground capture of one of the many other events taking place to commemorate the attacks of 9/11. Bach never sounded so right.
