Voices of Ascension returns with a season of classics, favorites, and hidden treasures. Suffused with the warm glow of hundreds of candles, Voices of Ascension opens with the beloved Candlelight Christmas Concerts featuring young artists, traditional carols, and classic holiday melodies. Next, VOA returns to the classical era with works by Mozart and Haydn, friends and iconic composers. Our 27th season also includes Bach’s St. John Passion and Music of the Sistine Chapel, punctuated with an exciting collaboration with CUNY Graduate Center in a performance of Enrique (Enric) Granados’ Song of the Stars. Subscriptions are on sale now. Get your Early Bird Level A subscriptions at $350 before June 30. Level B subscriptions are $175. Single tickets will go on sale September 15.

Parish News: August 23
This week our associate rector, Father Ed, reflects on late summer’s quieter rhythm in the city and the subtle shifts in energy he observes while making pastoral calls. He contrasts the effects of anxiety-inducing news cycles with the neurological benefits of worship and faith community—the oxytocin and endorphins that come from fellowship. He encourages us to keep returning to church, trusting that our shared spiritual practice sustains hope.
