Voices Chorale NJ: Requiem x 2

Date & Time: May 3rd at 4pm

Location: Trinity Church, Princeton, NJ

It will be two times the beauty and two times the excitement when Voices Chorale NJ presents “Requiem x 2”. The concert will showcase two powerful musical settings of the requiem mass: the monumental Mozart Requiem, left incomplete by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791; and the Requiem by Brazilian composer José Maurício Nunes Garcia, completed in 1816 and inspired by familiarity with Mozart’s masterpiece. Both works will be accompanied by the 21-piece Berks Sinfonietta orchestra.

Mozart tragically died before completing his Requiem, and this concert will feature a 1991 completion of the piece by brilliant musician and Julliard scholar Robert Levin. To help audience members better understand and appreciate the various completions of Mozart’s Requiem through history, a pre-concert talk will be presented by Dr. David McConnell, Voices Chorale NJ Artistic Director, at 3:15pm.

Both “Requiems” are dramatic and intensely moving compositions of choral art, and promise an unforgettable musical experience that will captivate and move the audience. Don’t miss this doubly-exciting concert experience!

The church community is invited to a forum this Sunday, March 16, immediately following the 10:30 am service. We will be meeting in Pierce-Bishop Hall. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend and share feedback with the Family Ministries Committee following the forum. Childcare with lunch for children will be provided.

Also on Sunday, Chesirae will teach Sunday School for our younger students at 9:30 am, and attend Playful Worship during the 10:30 am service.

Volunteers Wanted for Good Grief

With the growth of our Nights of Support in Princeton, Good Grief is now able to support more grieving children and families. We now offer peer support groups on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings.

With a new night added, we are looking for compassionate and kind volunteers who would like to become a peer support group facilitator. Our next facilitator training is May 2nd-4th at Good Grief in Princeton. Our facilitators make all the difference by creating a safe and caring environment where grieving children and their families can express themselves.

Interested individuals can contact volunteer@good-grief.org.

Thank You to our Volunteers!

On Saturday March 1, twenty-one parishioners from Trinity volunteered at Arm in Arm's food warehouse in Hamilton.  According to Shariq Marshal, Development & Community Engagement Coordinator at Arm in Arm, “We sincerely thank you all for your time and efforts this past weekend.   Your group prepared over 200 bags, stocked all of our shelves with the incoming donations, prepared 100 snack bags for kids and cleared  space for our next shipment of inventory in the process. This is a huge impact!”

Thank you to all our volunteers. You made a real difference!
