The breath of God has infused the human mind and inspired artists through the ages. We experience God though all our senses.
Independent Presbyterian Church has played a significant role in music and the arts in Birmingham. The November Organ Recital Series began in 1965 and is one of the longest running organ series in the nation. Both the organ recital and annual Religious Arts Festivals bring world-class artists to the area. Since the first Christmas Concert in 1964, the IPC Choir has presented more than 175 concerts and special services locally and around the world.
All of these free, public events are funded through endowments and the yearly operating budget of the church. Please join us and experience God in new ways through the arts.

Upcoming Music Events
The Annual Patricia Byrne Memorial Concert Series for organ and orchestra will begin on Tuesday, March 18 at 7 pm. This first concert will feature Ken Cowan from Rice University and 42 members of the Alabama Symphony performing exciting organ concertos by Josef Rheinberger and Joseph Jongen, and the hauntingly beautiful Adagio by Tomaso Albinoni.
The repertoire heard in these concerts is usually only heard in concert halls that contain a pipe organ large enough to be accompanied by an orchestra, i.e. Chicago, Philadelphia, etc. This unique series of concerts is presented as a gift to the city of Birmingham, and will feature our incredible Joseph W. Schreiber Memorial Organ and beautiful church. Come early to get a seat!
IPC's organ is given to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Joseph W Schreiber, who served Independent Presbyterian Church with excellence and dedication for 34 years.
