Music at Westminster
Welcome to the Westminster community! Whatever your taste or experience, you are invited to participate in the exciting music programs here at historic Westminster. We welcome everyone, from professional to amateur, from young to old, from new to experienced.
Westminster's Romanesque-Byzantine building is home to a number of fine musical keyboards: a 50-rank Möller pipe organ, a portative pipe organ, a harpsichord, two grand pianos (Steinway "B" and Yamaha 7'), and an ornate 1904 two-manual, full pedal reed (electrified-pump) organ (chapel). The classical sanctuary space is graced with ideal acoustics and is a favorite venue for concerts, recitals, Music@Noon, and lectures.
Consider our musical opportunities:
At the sound of Westminster's towering carillon, every Wednesday at 12:00 Noon the downtown community is summoned to another high-quality, FREE Music at Noon concert in the church's unique Romanesque-Byzantine sanctuary. A wide variety of music is presented, including: classics, jazz, pops, Broadway, opera, folk, grand pipe organ, piano, and world-music. Bring your bag lunch and enjoy a moment of serenity as you listen to the talented artists from Greater Sacramento. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated so our artists can be paid an honorarium. Contact Brad Slocum for program or audition information.
