Description
Arvo Pärt wrote O Holy Father Nicholas because he was asked to contribute a work in honor of the rededication of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at Ground Zero in New York. The original church had been completely destroyed on September 11, 2001.
The first performance of the work took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on October 31 and November 1, 2021 by the Artefact Ensemble under the direction of Benedict Sheehan. The church was inaugurated on July 4, 2022 and reopened to the public on December 6, 2022.
