The Sebastians

Join us for an enchanting evening of baroque music as The Sebastians present "The 24 Violins" on Saturday, March 11, 2023, at 5pm. This special concert will take place at the Good Shepherd-Faith Presbyterian Church, located at 152 West 66th St., offering a journey back in time to the opulent court of France's Versailles.

"The 24 Violins" pays homage to the Vingt-quatre Violons du Roy, the celebrated string band of the French court, renowned for its distinctive sound and impeccable musicianship. For this tribute, The Sebastians have assembled their largest group of strings to date, aiming to recreate the magnificent ensemble's sonority. The program will feature a rich tapestry of music by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Louis XIV’s esteemed maître de musique, alongside Bach’s Overture in the French Style, creating a vivid musical dialogue between two countries and eras.

This concert is a unique opportunity for music lovers of all ages, with free admission available for students. We also offer community comp tickets for those who wish to attend but find the cost prohibitive, ensuring that music is accessible to all.

Please note that the venue is not wheelchair accessible, with twenty steps up to the sanctuary. For safety, we will closely monitor local COVID-19 conditions and may require proof of vaccination, masking, and distancing inside the concert hall. Detailed safety procedures will be announced closer to the performance date.
