Our 2026 Concert Season!

Dear Friends,

In 1986, the Orchestra of St. Peter by the Sea played our first concert in the beautiful sanctuary of St. Peter’s Church in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. My joy, some 40 years later, is both thrilling and humbling. We are the byproduct of many wonderful people, musicians, and audience members who share hope and enthusiasm, the two main ingredients for life.

Please join us for our 40th season of joyful music-making!

Looking forward,

Father Alphonse
