Music in the Manor Opens Its Second Season with October 19 Program “Unlike Anything Else!”

Music in the Manor, St. John’s community concert series, opens its 2025-2026 season with a unique and entertaining program on Sunday, October 19, at 2 pm.

The season will begin with Organized Rhythm, a standout duo featuring an unusual combination: Clive Driskill-Smith, a well-known English organist, and GRAMMY Award winning multi-percussionist Joseph Gramley, who performs with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. The concert will be held in St. John’s church sanctuary, providing the community with the opportunity to have an intimate musical experience in a beautiful space filled with historical stained-glass windows.

According to St. John’s Music Director Dr. Matthew Lewis, “the two come together to deliver something unique and intriguing. It’s unlike anything else!” The program, entitled “Dancing with the Stars,” will include a range of composers, with music selected to appeal to a wide range of audiences, including children elementary age and up. Works of Byrd, Bizet, Copeland, Bolcom, and John Williams will be performed.

You won't want to miss this exciting musical adventure. All are invited to attend. No tickets or reservations are needed. There is a suggested donation of $20, payable at the door. A reception will follow the concert in the Parish Hall.

Established in 2024 by St. John’s Music Director Dr. Matthew Lewis and the Rev. Lisa Mason, the Music in the Manor concert series strives to bring high quality live music performances in an intimate setting to the greater Larchmont-Mamaroneck community. The three-concert series will again include a performance of all six of J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos on New Year’s Day and will close with a performance by the two-time GRAMMY-award winning Attacca Quartet on May 3.

St. John’s Church is located at 4 Fountain Square in Larchmont, NY. For more information about Organized Rhythm: https://www.organizedrhythm.com/ . For a YouTube teaser, click here. For more information about the Music in the Manor Concert Series: https://stjohnslarchmont.org/music-in-the-manor/ .
