Tomás Luis de Victoria
Three Lamentations for Holy Saturday
Dum complerentur

Francisco Guerrero
Ave Virgo sanctissima
Regina caeli
Maria Magdalene

Tickets are $40, or $24 if you’re 25 or under. If you are at all near New York and have any love of beauty, I highly recommend it. For more information and tickets, visit the Miller Theatre’s website .

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
