It was recorded.

The concert at the Shrine in Washington yesterday was packed to the gills, with full pews in the nave, people sitting in side chapels, plus a couple hundred standees.
The program was Renaissance polyphony, with one chant piece (the Gaudete Sunday introit). A short tour through the liturgical year using propers and psalms/canticles, but not Mass ordinary parts.
EWTN was present, but I don't know if they'll broadcast.

Interestingly, Maestro Palombella used a large tablet on the podium instead of scores. -

I noticed that watching the Holy Thursday broadcast from a few years ago. For a big liturgy like that (or a concert) which draws from many books, it seems like a good choice. (That said, I still sing from paper.)
