Continuing a flurry of activity, composer/violist Jessica Meyer's largest-scale work to date will premiere at Trinity Church Wall Street on May 18 at 1PM. The contemporary music orchestra of Trinity Church, NOVUS NY, conducted by Julian Wachner, premieres Meyer's Through which we flow as part of the church's "Sunken Cathedral" series.

The series features diverse arrangements of Debussy's classic and haunting prelude La Cathédrale engloutie, alongside a variety of newer compositions focusing on climate change and water. The program also features John Luther Adams' Pulitzer and Grammy-winning Become Ocean and LUna Pearl Woolf's After the Wave.

Through which we flow, commissioned by Trinity Church Wall Street, is based on assertions found in Masaru Emoto's book The Hidden Messages in Water, which examines spirituality and string theory/quantum mechanics.
This spring, Meyer has delivered four new works. In March, Amanda Gookin (PUBLIQuartet) closed out her Forward Music Project with Meyer's Swerve, for solo cello. San Francisco Classical Voice called the piece "a cathartic burst of energy." Also in March, Tapped into the Same Vein, for string quartet and viola, premiered in Philadelphia. In April, new music collective counter)induction premiered Sagrada Familia, inspired by Gaudi's iconic basilica in Barcelona, at the Brooklyn Public Library.
