Sacred Music — Fall 2025

We present free concerts at St. Paul’s Chapel (117th & Amsterdam) and streaming on YouTube. With questions, contact Julian Bennett Holmes.

While Columbia’s campus remains closed to the public, you can register in advance for each concert, and you will be able to get onto campus for that concert. You must register separately for each concert, and there is a strict deadline: 11am the day before each concert. (Note: please don’t use the same email address to register more than one person, as this confuses the computers.)

If you are a student, faculty member, or staff member at Columbia and you can already get onto campus, you don’t need to register.
