About Us

Welcome to Seabury Academy.

The Seabury Academy of Music and the Arts, Inc. in residence at St. Paul’s on the Green, Norwalk is a non-profit, tax-exempt Connecticut corporation established in July 2009.

The three major program areas of Seabury Academy are ARTWorks, Mid-Day Music and Concerts, and the St. Paul’s Chorister Program.

ARTWORKS PROGRAM
This program provides gallery space in the Chittim-Howell House for visiting artists to display their work and operates a summer camp – EXPLORING MUSIC AND THE ARTS – for children in the greater Norwalk community. A nominal activity fee is charged to cover the costs of art materials and snacks. This program is partially funded through commissions paid by the visiting artists for sales of their work and by donations.

MIDDAY MUSIC AND CONCERTS PROGRAM
MidDay Music is a lunchtime recital series in the fall season that resumes in February and continues through May. It is a chance for the community to be entertained weekly by guest organists, pianists, vocalists and other musicians. A light luncheon is served following the concert. The Concert Program features guest musicians that perform afternoon and evening concerts. These programs are supported by donations.

ST PAUL’S CHORISTER PROGRAM
The chorister program is an educational and outreach program comprised of more than 40 children from the greater Norwalk area. The members of this choir rehearse twice a week September through May and sing most Sundays at St. Paul’s. They have also been invited participate in Choir Festivals in New York City. In addition to the music education they receive at the semi-weekly rehearsals choristers are eligible to receive piano lessons, homework help and transportation to rehearsals. The choristers attend sleep away camp at the beginning of the program year and for some this is their only camp experience. Funding for this program is from fundraising by the chorister families, and donations.
