Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue is not just a favorite stomping grounds for our Groupmuse Nights Out community and it’s not just one of the most staggeringly beautiful halls of the Holy in our Great City. It’s also, as of only a couple of weeks ago, home to the freshly finished Miller-Scott Organ. $11 million dollars and 10 years in the making, the instrument has immediately assumed a place among the most magnificent pipe organs in the world, and it belongs to New York City. To celebrate its arrival, St. Thomas has put together a tremendous evening of music-making and wants us to join for a Groupmuse Night Out!

There’s hardly a better way to begin this monumental instrument’s journey than with that 20th century wizard of melody and invention Francis Poulenc and his glorious Organ Concerto, for organ and orchestra. Poulenc will be joined on the program by Samuel Barber, Leos Janacek, Leonard Bernstein and more.

And St. Thomas is really pulling out all the stops for this one: The Orchestra of St. Luke’s will be there. The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys will add their voices. Harpist Sara Cutler, Soprano Hyesang Park, and of course the Grand Organ itself, captained by Benjamin Sheen, will all make for a sublime eruption of sound.

Tickets typically runs $50 — but because St. Thomas loves its ‘musers, we’ve got a limited stack for $20 — over 50% off! But it probably won’t last, so if you want to join, grab some!
