NY Times: Trinity Church, a Sanctuary for Music, Cuts Back.
“All this adds up to deprivation and uncertainty for parishioners and followers of Trinity’s music program. And for all the current caricatures of classical music as an elitist pursuit, no one would mistake the crowd at the free Bach at One concerts for 1 percenters. Many are tourists, stopped in their tracks by what they hear.” A shame. Trinity sits at an important crux point, between Wall Street, the Stock Exchange, the waterfront, the site of the former WTC. It remains a connection to the past, to the future. If you work in the area, you often eat lunch in the cemetery with Alexander Hamilton, John Jacob Astor, Luther Martin, Robert Fulton and others. Nice green space in the concrete jungle.
