EnglishWhat Music Events and Concerts Take Place at Trinity Church?
Updated
Trinity Church Wall Street runs a regular concert calendar alongside its worship schedule, with most performances free to attend and open to the public. The music program centers on three recurring series — Jazz at One, Bach at One, and PIPES — plus appearances by an ensemble-in-residence. Events take place at Trinity Church and at Trinity Commons, and the calendar below reflects what the parish has listed for fall 2026.
The recurring concert series
Jazz at One
A lunchtime jazz series held at Trinity Church, typically at 1:00 pm. It opens each season with a featured duo or small group. The fall 2026 season opener is the Tia Fuller and Shamie Royston Duo on October 14 — an innovative saxophone and piano pairing described by Trinity as "shaping the future of American music."
Bach at One
A 1:00 pm series at Trinity Church devoted to the music of J.S. Bach. The October 21 program, titled "Blessings," presents two uplifting cantatas on the theme of appreciating life's treasures.
PIPES
An evening organ series at Trinity Church, beginning at 6:30 pm. David Higgs, an organist known for his technique, performs on October 21, exploring the full symphonic range of the Trinity organ.
Ensemble-in-residence
Trinity's new ensemble-in-residence, Sandbox Percussion, presents "Legacy of Steve Reich" — a tribute to the composer whose work launched a genre. Trinity also published a companion interview, "Five Questions for Composer Steve Reich," ahead of his 90th birthday, in which he discusses his influences (civil rights, Bach, liturgy) and the technique that changed his composing.

Where the performances happen
- Trinity Church — the historic sanctuary hosts Jazz at One, Bach at One, PIPES, and the ensemble-in-residence programs.
- Trinity Commons — the parish's community building hosts faith education and discussion events (Discovery, Foundations) rather than the concert series above.
How to plan your visit
- Check the calendar first. Trinity maintains a full calendar on its site; dates and programs are added through the season, so confirm before you travel.
- Note the start times. The "at One" series begins at 1:00 pm, which makes them easy to fit into a lunch hour; PIPES starts at 6:30 pm.
- Confirm the venue. Music events are listed at Trinity Church, while education programs meet at Trinity Commons — the two are separate locations.
- Look for the series label. Each listing is tagged by category (Music, Faith Education), so you can scan for concerts quickly.
