Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Now in its fifteenth season, Midtown Concerts sponsors lunchtime performances of music of the 18th century and earlier for anyone seeking a respite from the midtown hustle and bustle. Ensembles are chosen by a jury of early-music specialists from the metropolitan area. Each free concert is 30 to 40 minutes in length; no tickets or reservations are necessary.

Thursdays at 1:15 p.m.
The Chapel at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church
325 Park Avenue at East 51st Street
FREE - no tickets are necessary
