About the Tuesday Concert Series

The Church of the Epiphany, in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C., has been serving those in need and celebrating the arts since its founding in 1842. Every Tuesday, free programs are offered to the community by artists from around the world.

The series enjoys partnerships as well with local arts groups, including The Levine School of Music and

the Washington Bach Consort.

A beautiful and resonant acoustic space, a 64-rank Aeolian-Skinner organ, and a 9-foot Steinway grand piano provide performers and audiences alike with

a glorious experience of the arts each Tuesday, attracting those taking a break during their work day, tourists, groups of seniors on an outing. and

student groups.

Freewill donations help to defray the costs of maintaining the instruments, administrative costs, and providing a small stipend for the performers, but the need is always greater than the available resources. Please consider a gift to the Tuesday Concert Series as it continues to offer inspiring

experiences of the arts for many years to come. You can contact our Development and Communications

Associate, Anya McMurrer, at amcmurrer@epiphanydc.org, to learn more about

giving and sponsorship opportunities.
