ABOUT CLASSICAL SECOND SUNDAYS
Classical Second Sundays showcases world-class musicians playing classical repertoire in a series of recitals held on the second Sunday of every month at Saint Luke’s Anglican Church in Annapolis Royal. The inaugural 2024 season presents twelve concert pianists from Nova Scotia and Ontario, displaying the exceptional sonorities of the new Baldwin concert grand piano which has recently made its home at St. Luke’s, thanks to the Wall Family. The depths of the piano, the quality of the musicians, and the beauty of the church promise to offer a sublime concert experience.
