THE PLACE & THE MUSIC

A place to pause.

Saint Thomas Fifth Avenue is a landmark of Gothic Revival architecture in Midtown Manhattan. The present church, designed by Ralph Adams Cram and Bertram Goodhue and completed in 1914, gives music a resonant carved-stone setting beside Fifth Avenue. Its choir-school tradition and celebrated organs are central to the building’s musical identity.

The Sunday Recital Series welcomes the public for organ, piano and chamber music, distinct from the church’s worship services. Look for the church’s limestone façade at the corner of West 53rd Street, directly across from the Museum of Modern Art district.

Sunday Recital Series starts at approximately 5:15pm. Free and open to the public.
