St. Bartholomew's Choir will sing Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms in an arrangement for organ, harp and percussion as well as Virgil Thomson's My shepherd will supply my need and McNeil Robinson's Missa Brevis. William K. Trafka will conduct the choir. Instrumentalists for the Bernstein will be Jason Roberts, organist, Frances Duffy, harpist and Samuel Lazzara, percussionist.

The Summer Festival of Sacred Music takes place each Sunday morning at 11 am at St. Bartholomew's Church during the summer months. At a time when most churches reduce their musical offerings, St. Bartholomew's Church provides outstanding sacred music sung by St. Bartholomew's Choir and Boy and Girl Choristers, two of New York City's most renowned choirs. Works include an array of mass settings from the 15th century to the present embracing a diversity of cultures from around the world. The music is sung as part of the Eucharist or Mass, the liturgical context for which it was composed. All Summer Festival events are free and open to the public.
