Intimate meditations for Lent
Tenet presents a mini-series of lenten programs in a candlelit chapel to help you escape our bustling city. Each program starts with a quiet moment of meditation followed by music by French Baroque composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier and his contemporaries set to sacred texts that explore litanies, lessons, and laments. Designed to offer time for reflection, each program lasts 60 minutes and prepares you for an evening of reflection and contemplation

Get To Know The Music
Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s music is a treasure for deep thought and reflection! Here are two videos from Tenet’s Tenebrae series in 2013 featuring singers Laurie Heimes, Jolle Greenleaf, and Ryland Angel and instrumentalists Robert Mealy (violin), Motomi Igarashi (viola da gamba), Hank Heijink (theorbo), and Avi Stein (chamber organ). Both performances show the fluid and achingly beautiful melodies Charpentier in his Lessons for Good Friday of Holy Week.
