MUSIC FROM GOOD SHEPHERD
“Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the
greatest treasure in the world.”
- Martin Luther
Since 1996, Good Shepherd Catholic
Church has opened its doors to hundreds of
New York's most talented musicians and
ensembles, giving them the opportunity to
perform in our beautiful sanctuary before
live and appreciative audiences.
As "Music from Good Shepherd" enters
into its 20th season of free Sunday evening
recitals, we invite you to become a part of
this wonderful tradition of music-making in
our community of Marine Park.
Our series will begin on October 2 and
continue each Sunday through December 11
culminating with our annual presentation of
G. F. Handel’s oratorio “Messiah.”
All the recitals begin at
6:00 pm and are free. I hope
to see you at Good Shepherd
Church to celebrate our
20th year of beautiful music
in a beautiful space.
