Saint Peter’s Church is a historic Episcopal church located in the Citigroup Center at 619 Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Completed in 1976, the church is notable for its unusual location within a skyscraper and its striking architectural design by William Lescaze. It replaced an earlier Saint Peter's Church founded in 1829 as a parish serving the burgeoning immigrant population of the 19th century. The current building features a sanctuary designed to maximize acoustics, making it a popular venue for musical performances beyond regular religious services. The space is known for its resonant sound quality and intimate atmosphere despite its modern setting. It has hosted numerous classical and jazz concerts over the years, becoming recognized as an unconventional but highly respected performance space.
