St. Andrew's Music in the Nave Concert Series began in the fall of 2010 under the very able leadership of Judy Messer. The series brings musicians from many genres to the parish for performances that range from student piano recitals to cabarets, and from folk & jazz concerts to holiday sing-ins of Handel’s oratorio, The Messiah.
The much heralded local ensembles The Kent Singers and the Sherman Chamber Ensemble are frequent performers.
Past performers include the Manhattan String Quartet, vocalist Lynn Henderson, jazz vibraphonist Diana Herold, singer/guitarist George Potts, pianist Russell Hirshfield, jazz singer Wanda Houston, pianist Margarita Nuller, The Rosewood Chamber Ensemble and the Wyckham Consort. Our most recent concert performer was local resident and music legend Steve Katz - a founding member of the influential rock band, Blood Sweat & Tears.
One of the wonderful assets of the series is the Steinway grand piano which the church was able to purchase in the Spring of 2011.
