Unconventional Wisdom at St. Paul’s Chapel

TENET rings in the holiday season by resurrecting the voices of 17th century Italian nuns for Unconventional Wisdom. Held at St. Paul’s Chapel on Thursday, December 7, 2023 at 7:00pm, famed composer Chiara Maria Cozzolani’s music anchors this offering along with works by Sulpitia Cesis, Vittoria Aleotti, Isabella Leonarda, and Catarina Assandra. At this performance, TENET will explore texts focusing on the maternal experience of Christ’s birth through the eyes of his mother, those in community with Mary, and those who dedicated their lives to sisterhood. Unconventional Wisdom is co-presented by Trinity Wall Street and features a collaboration with trebles from Downtown Voices led by guest director Elena Williamson. The concert will be released virtually on December 21, 2023 and remain available for on demand, unlimited viewing until February 21, 2024.
