St Bartholomew’s Church

Midtown


Several performance series have found an extraordinary home at this landmark Anglican church, where the fine acoustics add a special touch to choir, cello, piano, violin and ensemble performances. Numerous performances are free – see the church website for details. Most of the performances use the main entrance, but a few may require you to enter at 109 50th St.
