Sacred Music at Columbia

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

Columbia’s campus is currently closed to the public. However, if you don’t have a valid Columbia ID, you can register in advance for each concert, and you will be able to get onto campus for that concert. (Registration will close at 11am the day before each concert. To register, click on the concert’s name, and then click the blue "register" button.)
