First Tuesday One O’Clock Concerts
The concert series was suspended because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We look forward to being able to offer another season of music featuring our Skinner organ!
Once a month, the public is invited to hear leading organists from New York City and abroad perform on St. Ann’s historic Skinner organ in the First Tuesday One O’Clock Organ Concert series. Curated by St. Ann’s Director of Music and Organist Gregory D’Agostino, these concerts take place on the first Tuesday of each month at 1:00 pm. Admission is free. Your voluntary support of the organ restoration fund and this concert series is most welcome and appreciated.

The Sanctuary as a Performance Space
St. Ann’s welcomes musical organizations and artists that favor the sanctuary as a venue for their rehearsals and concerts. Some have made St. Ann’s their home, such as the annual Brooklyn Folk Festival and the String Orchestra of Brooklyn. Upcoming performances by many groups can be found here. Information on the rental of the sanctuary and other space in the complex is available here.
