In accordance with NYC Vaccination Requirements, Concerts at Saint Thomas will require masks and valid proof of full vaccination for all concert-goers (Children under 12 must wear masks). Presentation of approved documentation (such as the Excelsior Pass on your mobile device) is required upon arrival at each event. Read complete policy details.

As the year 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Marcel Dupré, Organist and Director of Music, Jeremy Filsell, presents his complete works for organ over nine recitals on the Miller-Scott Organ. The penultimate recital on September 25th features Les Nymphéas, Triptyque, as well as Dupré’s Christmas variations.

Dupré was the foremost French organ virtuoso of his time and heir to the great tradition of French Romantic organ playing and composing. He traveled widely as a concert artist in the U.S. during the 1920s and 30s and was a hugely influential teacher at the Paris Conservatoire between 1926 and 1956. His music for his instrument, the organ, is brilliant, evocative and is virtuoso writing of the highest order.
