Midday
We mark one of the defining moments of our time: September 11, 2001 when the World Trade Center in New York was attacked, resulting in the loss of 2996 lives. We feature a composition by NY based composer Eric Ewazen titled “A hymn for the lost and the living”. It tells his story of that day.
