Concerts at Holy Trinity — The Thirteen: Beautiful as the Sky

May 18 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EDT

The highly-acclaimed choral ensemble “The Thirteen” return to Holy Trinity for a concert featuring choral masterworks under the baton of Matthew Robertson.

In this program, The Thirteen explores moral beauty in three guises: the second World War, the American Civil War, and the women’s rights movement in America.

Francis Poulenc secretly composed his Figure Humaine in Vichy France, with the intention that it should be performed in Paris upon liberation from N*zi rule. Last performed by The Thirteen in 2018, this twelve-part tour de force is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and to the practice of remembrance.

Leonard Bernstein Award-winning composer Hilary Purrington writes a new work for The Thirteen that traces the progress and intimate stories of the American women’s rights movement.

Jeffrey Van’s A Procession Winding Around Me sets Civil War poems by Walt Whitman for choir and solo classical guitar with music as evocative and transcendent as the poetry.
