The Crypt Sessions

The Crypt Sessions is a classical music concert series that takes place in the crypt of the Church of the Intercession in Harlem, New York City. Created by Andrew Ousley of Unison Media, The Crypt Sessions debuted on November 4, 2015, with American composer and pianist Conrad Tao.

Described as one of the “most evocative” and “intimate” spaces for classical music, The Crypt Sessions has presented a variety of performances from contemporary opera,   jazz and spoken words,  two pianos,  string quartet,  gospel music,  to solo recitals featuring traditional repertoire such as Bach's Goldberg Variations  and Complete Cello Suites.
