According to his wife\, Constanze Mozart\, the ailing composer had come to believe he was writing the piece\, initially commissioned by a German count\, to be played at his own funeral — and indeed some sections were. Requiem was later performed at the funerals and commemorative services of Ludwig van Beethoven\, Joseph Haydn\, and Frédéric Chopin. Centuries later in 1960\, “scraps of paper” containing Mozart’s unrealized ideas were discovered\, prompting new versions of the Requiem. Join us for Robert Levin’s scholarly completion of this celebrated and emotionally stirring choral masterpiece\, featuring Downtown Voices with The Choir of Trinity Wall Street.

Operating from 1712 to 1795\, this burial ground is the resting place of 15\,000 enslaved and free Blacks\, along with some Native Americans and impoverished white people. Mills’ groundbreaking work captures the stories of those who worked as cooks\, childhood chimney sweeps\, laborers on the docks near South Street Seaport\, participants in the Revolutionary War\, and individuals who maintained African traditions in burial practices. Don’t miss this unique event where Mills will creatively “excavate” the tragedies and triumphs of New York’s enslaved and free Black community. Advanced registration is suggested for this free event but walkups will be accommodated as possible. A reception with complimentary beverages will follow. Boneyarn will be available for purchase at the event.

Pausing at each step in the supply chain\, Wikstrom considers the labor and economies involved and looks closely at the way wood is grown\, sourced\, and transported\, and its impacts on the biodiversity of the forest and health of our ecosystems. Beautifully illustrated by Wikstrom’s drawings\, the book argues that a more sensitive species-based approach is essential\, with designers as choreographers of carbon\, transferring and trading between forest\, factory\, site\, and beyond.
