Music at St. Peter's is an ongoing program of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Morristown, NJ that features both the musical talent of St. Peter's superb church music program as well as that of guest artists from the local community and around the world. Set against the backdrop of the majestic architecture of Charles McKim and often accompanied by the church's extraordinary and fully-restored 1930 Skinner organ, Music at St. Peter's events are not to be missed. Join us!
