Part of the reason why we started doing Groupmuse Nights Out (wherein we bring our community into the concert hall) was to show our folks the possibilities of classical music that can't fit in a living room.

So when the St. Thomas Church on 5th avenue came a-knocking, with a concert featuring The Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir backed by Hanne Kuhlmann on an organ the size of a Brooklyn Brownstone, we couldn't refuse. Good luck packing an experience of these proportions into that 3rd floor walk-up.

Featuring some music that's almost 500 years old, some music written today, and so much in between - Palestrina, Gade, Nieslen, Højsgaard and more - the soft power of these collective and delicate voices, backed by a mighty organ will elate and inspire.

The concert is taking place in the absolutely magnificent St. Thomas Church on 5th Avenue, and, while tickets at the door are $40 or more, we've got a very limited stack for $20, because it's Groupmuse, baby.

Spend your Friday night humbled by something huge but subtle, monumental but translucent.

Have a great Night Out.
