Music/Concerts
Warmth, richness, intimacy, and excellence have always been the signature of the Concerts at St. Ignatius, a series called "invaluable" by The New York Times. Formerly known as Sacred Music in a Sacred Space, our concerts are held in the opulent Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, an architectural landmark at the intersection of Park Avenue and 84th Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
We are committed to presenting the finest sacred choral and organ repertoire spanning over 1,000 years of music history. Known for artistic excellence, the renowned Choir and Orchestra of St. Ignatius Loyola present exhilarating performances of large-scale choral masterpieces as well as more intimate and reflective settings by lesser-known composers. Internationally-acclaimed organists may also frequently be heard on the Church's magnificent N.P. Mander Pipe Organ, the largest tracker organ in New York City.
Season 2025-2026
We’re thrilled to announce our 2025-2026 concert season! The season begins in the fall with the return of the Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola presenting works by Palestrina, Parker, and Bach. We continue our Caritas Concerts series with Roosevelt André Credit: Get on Board in November – net ticket proceeds will benefit the Church of St. Catherine in Bethlehem.
December marks the return of Chanticleer for their 12th season at St. Ignatius. We follow with our annual Christmas concert – Gloria! These concerts are our most popular, and we recommend purchasing tickets early.
Spring is packed with wonderful performances. We welcome Felix Hell as part of our N.P. Mander Organ series. The United States Naval Academy Glee Club will present a free concert mid-March, followed by Skylark Vocal Ensemble.
For Palm Sunday, we will present the St. Matthew Passion, featuring The Greenwich Village Chamber Singers, Hunter College Singers, and Parish Community Choir. And Sing & Celebrate closes out the season in May!
General ticket sales begin July 1st at 9am. Pages for individual concerts will be published in mid-June.
