Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
Greetings
,
I am delighted to invite you to another season of music and art at the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church. To celebrate this long legacy of more than five decades of concerts and art exhibits, we will offer a Lessons and Carols Service in December, renowned organist and former Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey, James O’Donnell, and a combined concert of English choral and orchestral works with the marvelous choirs of the Church of the Redeemer.
The BMPC gallery will open with an exhibit in collaboration with the Barnes Foundation and Mural Arts Philadelphia, followed by an exhibit of self-portraits by BMPC students of artist George Apotsos, an exhibit called “Feminine Energy” by Sister Helen David Brancato, and an exhibit of the exquisite paintings of Barbara Berry. The art and music season concludes with a unique concert and art show with the internationally celebrated pianist and artist Barbara Lister Sink.
With BMPC’s marvelous acoustics and audience experience, we are pleased that several area arts organizations will also be on campus. Lyric Fest, Singing City Choir, Main Line Symphony, and Lower Merion Symphony will present concerts throughout the 2024-2025 season.
We appreciate your ongoing support and attendance and look forward to greeting you next season.
