Fantastic memory. Looking forward to times when we can gather and experience the extraordinary!

Sadly we can’t physically gather to experience great music at St. Bart’s. Instead MMPAF Artistic Director, Paolo Bordignon, has brought St. Bart’s Choir together virtually. Enjoy! (If you want to gear the great organ, tune in to St. Barts via Facebook or YouTube at 11:00am on Sunday.)
