Music at Church of the Heavenly Rest – Past Concerts

At Church of the Heavenly Rest, music draws us into service and inspires us in many ways. Whether you love to sing or are looking for family friendly activities and concerts in the neighborhood, we have a program for you and would love for you to join us!

Our 30-voice Adult Choir is a combined group of volunteer singers and talented section leaders, singing every Sunday morning and for special services including Christmas Eve, Holy Week, and Easter.

Children in our Age 4-Grade 12 chorister programs learn to sing, build rhythm and music literacy, and develop a meaningful sense of community. During the school year, chorister programs run from September through May, and we offer an August Choir and Arts Camp for rising 2nd-8th graders.

Our handbell choir includes those of all levels of experience who enjoy playing as part of an ensemble.

Heavenly Rest's magnificent 137-rank Austin Pipe Organ has over 8000 pipes, making it one of the largest in Manhattan.

Summer Evening Jazz Vespers take place in June and July.

We present mainstage Concerts with a Cause performances each season featuring classical, choral, jazz, and Broadway musicians. Each concert benefits one of our partner organizations here in New York City.
