West Side Concert Series
The West Side Concert Series:
Celebrating 35 Years—and a new name, too
Since 1976, the Patron Series has been one of the key outreach ministries of the church, engaging both local and international artists in outstanding and inspiring musical programs.
We will continue to celebrate the Nichols & Simpson sanctuary organ and our Steinway Concert Grand as solo instruments and instruments of accompaniment and ensemble.
And now the Patron Series is changing its name to: The West Side Concert Series. And with this change, we inaugurate another wonderful 35 years (we hope), bringing outstanding music to the Ridgewood area at very low cost.
