The Chapel Restoration’s new music season promises a captivating line-up of concerts, following a tradition and a standard established over the last decade. Sunday afternoon performances, April to November, are very often accompanied by birdsong and the occasional whistle of a train. 
  

We bring to our stage artists from St. Petersburg and Nanjing, China, Germany and Taiwan as well as, closer to home, Philipstown. Our jazz concert features one of the finest saxophonists on the scene today, with his group. Music to be heard will range from Estonian composer Arvo Pärt to Poulenc.

The ecumenical chapel is a landmark on the banks of the Hudson River in Cold Spring, an 1833 Greek Revival building breathtaking in its simplicity and the acoustical equal of the world’s great concert halls. Apart from superb acoustics, we have an 1893 Steinway grand piano, once owned by the Livingston family, whose country estate, Clermont, was farther up the Hudson in Germantown.

Concerts are produced by members of the chapel’s volunteer board, along with advertising, design and publicity to support them. They are open to the public without charge, and free parking is available at the adjacent Metro North Train Station. The series is made possible, in part, with state and county public funds from the Artslink program, which in Putnam County is administered by the Putnam Arts Council. We must also rely on your help in presenting music of this quality in our community. Contributions may be sent to the address below. Each of you will be gratefully acknowledged in the program.
