St. John’s has hosted the Artaria Chamber Music School (ACMS) from its inception in 2002. Founded and operated by members of the Artaria String Quartet, the school teaches students the techniques and artistry needed to interpret important Classical, Romantic, and Modern Era chamber music masterpieces.
This program year, each liturgical season will carry a certain theme and seasonal arch. During the Fall through November 20, our Compline services’ theme will be Night, Light, Beginning.
