Welcome to the Arts at St. Bede’s.
The performances that make up our long-running concert series vary from the intimate to the large scale, from instrumental to choral, from early to contemporary.
Our concert space is warm and hospitable, with a lovely acoustic. Parking is free and plentiful, and each event is followed by a reception in our parish hall with opportunities to chat with each other and the performers.
In this series we seek to engage our parishioners, our neighbors, and the wider community in the enjoyment and appreciation of the beauty and mystery of human experience as expressed through the extraordinary medium of music.
Blazing Brass – Join one of the Bay Area’s finest brass ensembles for a concert that is at once musically exciting and thoroughly entertaining. The program will include a wide variety of music from Baroque and Classical favorites, to film scores, Broadway musicals, popular tunes, Dixieland, jazz and exciting new original compositions for brass quintet. The Menlo Brass Quintet includes two trumpets, French horn, trombone and tuba.
