Commissioned by Trinity for the 250th birthday of the United States, Great Awakenings: John Henry Hobart and America is a powerful new concert opera by acclaimed composer (and former Trinity organist) David Hurd. With a libretto by Christopher Dylan Herbert, a former member of the Trinity Choir, the work brings to life a pivotal era in American religious and civic history by celebrating the visionary leadership of Bishop Hobart (1775–1830), Trinity’s seventh rector (1816-1830). Demonstrating vibrant choral writing and expressive solos, Great Awakenings will be performed with Trinity Choir, Downtown Voices, and NOVUS. NOVUS will also present Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite for 13 instruments.
