The Incarnation Concert Series presents the world’s finest choirs and instrumentalists in concert. We look forward to welcoming you to one of the many concerts offered this season.
2025–2026 presents four headliner performances: Polyphony Concert (Oct. 2025), Harmonia Stellarum (January 2026), Incarnatus’ performance Messiah by Handel (March 2026), and Tallis Scholars (April 2026). We would love to see you at any or all of these wonderful events.
New this year! Every Tuesday, the Bach’s Lunch series continues featuring the music of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. This year adds a lineup of organ recitals in addition to concerts of Bach Cantatas. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. Livestream is available.
Revered as 'one of the best small choirs now before the public' (Telegraph) and 'possibly the best small professional chorus in the world' (Encore Magazine, USA), Polyphony has performed and recorded regularly worldwide to great critical acclaim since it was founded by Stephen Layton in 1986.
Awarded with an MBE for services to classical music in October 2020, Stephen Layton is one of the most sought-after conductors of his generation. Often described as the finest exponent of choral music in the world today, his ground-breaking approach has had a profound influence on choral music over the last 30 years.
To begin the season of Advent—the church’s time of reflection, preparation, and anticipation for Christ’s coming—plan to attend this year’s service of Advent Lessons and Carols. Building on the tradition of Incarnation’s Festival of Christmas Lessons and Carols, scriptural readings foretelling the mystical Advent prophesies alternate with carols and hymns. Parish Advent Night immediately follows the service.
From the first radio broadcast from King’s College, Cambridge, services of Lessons and Carols have captivated listeners across the world for over one hundred years to mark the Christmas season. This year, 2025 marks the 66th anniversary of Church of the Incarnation’s Lessons and Carols tradition, and we welcome you to this year’s festive celebration music.
Modeled after the great court chapels of the seventeenth century, Harmonia Stellarum Houston is an ensemble of vocal and instrumental virtuosos from across the US and beyond who devote their careers to performing on period instruments and with historically informed vocal technique. Their programming explores repertoire off the beaten path and presents popular masterworks in new contexts. In their intensive rehearsal phases, they strive for growth as an ensemble developing a performance style that, grounded in meticulous scholarly research, fuses historical authenticity with artistic innovation.
Mozart was captivated by Johann Andreas Stein’s innovative piano design, a groundbreaking prototype soon adopted enthusiastically by Viennese instrument makers. Celebrating the arrival of our own brand-new copy of a Stein fortepiano, this concert presents spirited Viennese concertos and symphonies from “the land of the clavier,” as Mozart himself affectionately called his musical home.
Tickets will be available online and at the door.
While George Frederic Handel’s most famous oratorio, Messiah, is often associated with Christmas, it was originally composed for and first performed at Easter, 1742. The oratorio’s second and third parts focus on Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection. Please join us Palm Sunday afternoon to begin Holy Week at Church of the Incarnation.
Free evening concert.
Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music. The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers, such as Pärt, Tavener, Whitacre, Muhly and Jackson.
We welcome The Tallis Scholars back to Church of the Incarnation for this year’s program, “Mysteries and Miracles.”
