Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation (MMPAF) Great Music is produced by the Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation, which exists to cultivate, promote, and sponsor the performing arts at St.

Bartholomew’s Church, a treasured masterpiece of architecture in Midtown Manhattan. ✨ Originally founded in 1972 to preserve the time honored tradition of offering major oratorios on Sunday afternoons from October to May, the Great Music at St. Bart’s Series adopted its current format in 1986 in response to a demand from the community for high-quality concerts in the magnifice

nt setting of St. Bartholomew’s Church. It has been under the direction of current Artistic Director William K. Trafka since 1995.
