Great Music concert series
at St. Bart’s
The Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation produces the Great Music concert series and exists to cultivate, promote, and sponsor the performing arts at St. Bartholomew’s Church, a treasured architectural masterpiece in Midtown Manhattan.
The series features internationally acclaimed performers in two of New York’s most inspiring concert venues: St. Bart’s intimate and acoustically brilliant 150-seat chapel and the majestic 900-seat church, an architectural marvel whose Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ is the largest in New York City and one of the finest examples of the American Classic Organ.
