Candlelight Concerts


Continuing a tradition begun by our 18th-century organist, Peter Pelham, Bruton Parish presents more than 120 recitals and concert programs annually in its Candlelight Concert series. Instrumental and choral groups from all over the United States and other countries perform in our historic church, interspersed with organ and harpsichord recitals by our own talented musicians. All guest musicians are approved by our staff and perform gratis. Contact Rebecca Davy via email if you are interested in being a part of this series. Concerts are held at 8:00 p.m. periodically throughout the year (please click below or visit our Calendar for the current schedule). There is no ticket charge for the concerts, but a freewill offering is received at each program to ensure the continuance of this ministry.


Please note that restrooms for the public are not available in the church.

Concert Ushers

Concert ushers help to make the Candlelight Concert ministry possible. They prepare the church for concerts and greet both guest musicians and audience members, and head ushers additionally provide a short history of the church while a freewill offering is received. Volunteers are always needed to help in this unique outreach. Contact the coordinator, Les Hoffman (email), if you are interested in serving.
