SUMMARY:Bach at One
DESCRIPTION:Hear pieces from two distinct phases of Bach’s prolific Leipzig period\, when he wrote most of the cantatas we perform today. Nun is das Heil und die Kraft represents his first few years in the German city\, when he composed sacred works. Meanwhile\, grand Cantata 207\, Vereinigte Zwietracht der wechselnden Saiten\, highlights the phase when he turned his focus to the Collegium Musicum\, a public concert series. He continued to write cantatas\, but the texts came from poetry rather than scripture. The latter includes an ingenious reworking of the first Brandenburg concerto.

SUMMARY:Jazz Icons: Buster Williams 
DESCRIPTION:Jazz Icons features renowned bassist\, composer\, and bandleader Buster Williams — whose profound influence has shaped the genre for more than six decades — in his first Trinity performance.

He has performed and recorded with a long list of jazz greats including Miles Davis\, Sonny Rollins\, Sarah Vaughan\, Count Basie\, Nancy Wilson\, Art Blakey\, Chick Corea\, and Mary Lou Williams. A cornerstone of Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi band and a first-call bassist for both traditional and avant-garde giants\, he bridges eras with elegance and power.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: “Hidden in Plain Sight” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Discover a powerful\, untold chapter of Holocaust history and a daughter’s enduring quest to know the story that began a generation before her birth. From childhood\, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade\, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through exacting research\, a bit of luck\, and three emotional trips to Serbia\, she pieces together her family’s lost past\, unearths secrets\, and returns to her father a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history. For this presentation\, Julie Brill will be in conversation with Karen Kirsten.
