Acclaimed early music ensemble TENET Vocal Artists, led by Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf, presents Sound the Trumpet on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at 7:00pm at St. Luke in the Fields (487 Hudson Street).

Sound the Trumpet celebrates the music of Henry Purcell and his contemporaries with selections from King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, Orpheus Brittanicus, and Welcome, vicegerent of the mighty King, Z. 340. These works pair alongside selected pieces for trumpet written by Philipp Jacob Rittler and Roman Weichlein featuring baroque trumpet soloist Kris Kwapis.

Vocalists include soprano and Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf, soprano Molly Quinn, countertenor Christopher Lowrey, tenor Corey Shotwell, and baritone Jonathon Adams. Instrumentalists include violinists Aniela Eddy and Chiara Stauffer, cellist Matt Zucker, Adam Cockerham and Hank Heijink on theorbo, special guest artist and trumpeter Kris Kwapis and trumpeter Thomas Muehlenbeck-Pfotenhauer, and guest Music Director Jeffrey Grossman on harpsichord. The performance will be filmed and available to view as a virtual concert from November 23, 2022 to February 23, 2023.

Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf shares, "Henry Purcell's music is always a pleasure to hear and to perform. Over the past 13 years, TENET has created many programs featuring his music around St. Cecilia's Day, and this year we are branching out by featuring works from Purcell's song collection Orpheus Brittanicus, his operas, and glorious works for baroque trumpets starring Kris Kwapis, a fantastic player who performs all over the US. Sound the Trumpet beautifully combines many of TENET's goals of creating intimate musical offerings, featuring incredible vocal and instrumental soloists, and bringing high quality early music to New York area audiences in an intimate venue."

TENET's 2022-23 season additionally includes: Polifonía de las Américas on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at 7:00pm at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church; Orlando de Lassus' Lagrime di San Pietro on Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 7:00pm at St. Jean Baptiste Church; Bach's Magnificat and Easter Oratorio on Saturday, April 29, 2023 at 7:30pm at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer; and Rejoice, Rejoice! on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 7:00pm at St. Ignatius of Antioch.
