Join us for this half-hour offering of contemplative
16th century music and prayer
has played a vital role in the life of the parish. The Tuesday
Concert Series reaches out to the entire metropolitan
Washington community and runs throughout the year. No other
concert series follows such a pattern and, as such, it is unique in
the Washington DC area.
Epiphany houses three fine musical instruments: The Steinway D
concert grand piano was a gift to the church in 1984, in memory
of vestry member Paul Shinkman, and the 4-manual, 64-rank,
3,467-pipe Æolian-Skinner pipe organ (1968) is one of the most
versatile in the city. The 3-stop chamber organ (2014),
commissioned in memory of Albert and Frances Manola, was
built by Orglarstvo Škrabl of Slovenia.
There is no admission charge for the Tuesday concerts, but you
are invited to make a freewill offering to help support our artists
who give freely of their time and skill in performing here.
Maintaining the artistic quality of Epiphany’s series with donations as the sole source of revenue is challenging. For information on how to become a PARTNER of the series and support our artistic work, please contact the Director of Music, Jeremy Filsell at jfilsell@epiphanydc.org, or take a PARTNERSHIP
brochure from the rear of the church.
