Concerts

St. Bartholomew's is known around the city for its excellent acoustics,
and now, for its fine organ. We are pleased to offer several
concerts this year. Below is a listing of concerts arranged by
category. Some events are ticketed, and others are free. Links
to additional information about performers and tickets will be
added as it becomes available. Please contact organist and
choirmaster Brad
Hughley (404.634.3336 x228) for more information. Free
concerts are offered as community outreach to parishioners and
guests alike.
New
Trinity Baroque
We are pleased to host
one of the area's finest early music ensembles,
New Trinity
Baroque, as artists-in-residence.
New Trinity Baroque concerts are now available on-line.

All concerts are preceded
by a free pre-concert talk.
These interesting talks will feature notable musicologists,
as well as NTB musicians and audience members who will bring
you interesting stories about composers, their music and -
the concerts that will follow.
Parishioners receive
discounted tickets: $15 for adults; $5 for students. To
reserve tickets and for more information, contact Brad Hughley at 404-634-3336 x228 or via Email at

New Trinity Baroque
returns – St. Bartholomew’s musicians featured
|
|
|
|
All concerts are held at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church
and begin at 8:00 p.m.

Needed: Concert Volunteers
The Music Department
is seeking two volunteers to assist with the New Trinity Baroque
concerts. The duties
of these volunteers will include: ticket sales, distribution of
concert programs, orderly seating of concert attendees and
returning the worship space to its normal state after the
concert (picking up discarded programs, etc.). Note that for
this concert the chairs in the nave will not be moved to face
the organ, so this task will not be very time consuming. The
time commitment will be roughly 2½-3 hours, from 45 minutes
before the concert to roughly 30 minutes after, and volunteers
receive free admission to the concert. Please contact
Elizabeth Fitch
if you are interested in volunteering for this or future
concerts at St. Bartholomew’s.

"Second Sundays at Seven"
Recital Series
This series of concerts precedes Compline on the
second Sunday of the month from September - May. The
recitals are 45 minutes long, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are not required; however, there is a freewill
offering to help continue the series. While primarily
designed as an organ recital series, several of this
year's concerts feature different combinations of
instruments. Whether you're exiting the 6:00 p.m.
Eucharist or coming to Compline, these concerts are a
wonderful opportunity to hear experienced musicians in a
different context. Upcoming concerts for the 2008 -2009

Atlanta Schola Cantorum
Atlanta Schola Cantorum, founded in 1974 and thus the
area's oldest independent chorus, presents two or three
sets of concerts each year in the Atlanta area. The core
of the group's repertory is the polyphonic sacred music of
the Renaissance, especially Josquin, Palestrina, Victoria,
Tallis, and Byrd. The group has offered the first local
performances of Hildegard von Bingen (in the mid-1970s)
and early Spanish music from the Las Huelgas Codex
and Llibre Vermell, and has reached forward to
Monteverdi, Sweelinck, Hassler, Aichinger, and Bach. Like
many early music choruses, Schola feels an affinity with
such contemporary composers as Pärt, Tavener, and
Lauridsen.
