Story

The Academy of Sacred Drama seeks to revive one of humanity’s great art forms present in rituals, in liturgy, and on stage: the sacred drama. The Academy Players—the Academy's core instrumental ensemble—works with accomplished singers to produce performances of Baroque oratorios (mostly from around 1660–1720) along with chamber music, lectures, and other events. Performance and educational opportunities are available in Westchester County, New York City, and online.
