Holy Trinity is widely known for its Bach Vespers series, begun in 1968 by then-organist John Weaver, the first instance in America where the cantatas of Bach could be heard on their appointed day in the context of the liturgical calendar. Cantatas, as well as other appropriate music are performed by leading Early Music vocalists and instrumentalists from late Fall through Easter.
Anthony Blake Clark will Lead the 55th Season of the New York Bach Institution.
Anthony Blake Clark has been named Artistic Director for Bach Vespers at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity on Central Park West and 65th Street in New York City. The dynamic choral conductor – known for his energetic style and eclectic programming – is Music Director of Baltimore Choral Arts, one of Maryland’s premier cultural institutions, and Director of Choral Activities at the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of Art and Design. The versatile director and composer is equally at home conducting Baroque, Renaissance, Classical and modern works. “
