NOVUS collaborates with acclaimed underground concert producers Death of Classical and the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine to present a series of thematic concerts in the crypt beneath the cathedral.  

The third night of music presents works ranging from the 11th century to the current day, including pieces by Hildegard von Bingen, Barbara Strozzi, Heinrich Biber, Caroline Shaw, and Gelsey Bell. The transcendent title work, Vis Aeternitatis, or “Power of Eternity,” was composed by Saint Hildegard, a medieval abbess, mystic, and composer known for her eloquent writing about the eternal divine.
