The intent of the concert series is to use the wonderful acoustics of the sanctuary and provide a place for excellent artists to perform music centered on, but not always solely about, Grace’s wonderful new pipe organ.

The Fall of 2008 will see the inauguration of the third year of the series. Stay tuned for the 2008-2009 season. Below is a complete listing of past concerts with selected sound files in MP3 format.

Recordings of some concerts are available on CD for a $15 donation to the organ fund, postage included, on request. Contact Organ Committee chair Ray Stubblebine.
