Sanctuary Series concerts: Great music on a Sunday afternoon in an intimate setting

Tip:Afternoons of exceptional music, courtyard receptions with the artists

We are proud to present the exceptional music of Sarasota's most celebrated musicians.

 If you love great music then you need to become involved with the Sanctuary Series of concerts. We strive to present the best of Sarasota's music scene in an old European setting inside our elegant church Sanctuary. Following each concert we present a complimentary wine, cheese and fruit reception with the artists in our courtyard. Tickets are a modest $10.

The Sanctuary Artist Series began in 2009 as an attempt to provide more exposure for professional musicians and groups of musicians in the Sarasota community, and to give church and outside audiences more opportunity to experience a variety of great music.

We have since provided concerts for musicians in many different genres, ranging from Irish folk music to classical musicians of the highest caliber.
