About this Event
NOVUS NY presents a special program on Sunday, May 12, at 3pm in Trinity Church. The new music orchestra performs innovative works that challenged the musical traditions of their time: Anton Webern's lush and dreamy Langsamer Satz, Igor Stravinsky's enigmatic Three Pieces for String Quartet, K019, and George Enescu's stunning, polyphonic Octet in C Major, op. 7.

Trinity Church Wall Street’s new music orchestra, NOVUS NY, is a key player on the contemporary music scene. These “expert and versatile musicians” (The New Yorker) perform new music from all corners of the repertoire, meeting “every challenge with an impressive combination of discipline and imagination” (New York Classical Review). The orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut, made with a formidable pairing of Ives and Ginastera, prompted The New York Times to declare that “adventure and ambition go hand in hand at Trinity Wall Street.”
NOVUS NY has forged strong links with many of today’s leading composers and the ensemble’s recent recordings include the GRAMMY®-nominated LUNA PEARL WOOLF: FIRE AND FLOOD, Paola Prestini’s The Hubble Cantata, Du Yun’s Angel’s Bone, Trevor Weston Choral Works, Elena Ruehr: Averno, the new opera Anna Christie by Edward Thomas; Ellen Reid’s p r i s m; and Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 5.
