Music at the Monastery
Music at the Monastery, the members' recital series of the DC AGO chapter, has concluded its 2023-24 season. Watch for a new lineup starting in September!
Every second Sunday of the month from September to May at 4 pm at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land at 1400 Quincy St. NE in Brookland, members have the opportunity to play a 45-minute recital on the Monastery's French-inspired organ in sumptuous acoustics.
Adam Graham and Carol Feather are co-chairs.
Located on 42 acres, the monastery is an architectural gem hidden in the northeast corner of Washington, D.C. Dedicated in 1898, the church is in the shape of a Jerusalem Cross in neo-Byzantine architectural style. The church and extensive contemplative gardens include full-size replicas of shrines from the Holy Land (the Franciscans have ministered there for 800 years), plus catacombs and a Lourdes Grotto. The monastery also has two hermitages for personal retreats. The Monastery's Lively-Fulcher pipe organ was built in 1998 and contains forty ranks of pipes over three manuals and pedal.
