Since 2020, the St. Andrew the Apostle Concert Series has brought nationally and internationally known organists, instrumentalists and choral ensembles to Clifton, Virginia.

The Concert Series showcases the St. Andrew the Apostle pipe organ which was installed in 2020 by the Peragallo Pipe Organ Company of Patterson, New Jersey. Dedicated to The Holy Archangels in 2021, this magnificent instrument is of French Romantic design with three manuals, 51 ranks and 2,891 pipes.

Our concert season is made up of several concerts annually from early Fall through late Spring at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church in Clifton, Virginia. Concerts are held on Sunday afternoons beginning at 4:00PM, and are generally followed by a meet-the-artist reception hosted by the parish's “Called by Name” hospitality ministry.

All events are free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be taken up during each concert to benefit current and future events. Credit card donations may be made at the reception and following the concert or anytime on-line (see below link). Your generosity in support of the arts is always appreciated!

If you are interested in providing additional financial sponsorship or support—or would just like to receive email notifications of upcoming events—please contact our Parish Office at 703-817-1770, or by email.

For musicians with an interest in our organ or our music program, please contact Mike Murphy, Director of Music Ministries, at the Parish Office or at [email protected].

Our Concert Series offers a diverse mix of artists and music all in a beautiful and inspirational sacred space. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!
