Music At Morristown United Methodist Church Abendmusik and Music At Noon There are two concert series here at Morristown United Methodist Church. Abendmusik is a series of five Saturday evening concerts held throughout the year (October, November, February, March, April). The Music At Noon series consists of 30-minute recitals at 12:15 pm each Thursday in December and January. A light lunch is also available for purchase before or after the concert (11:30-1:30 pm). Music At Morristown United Methodist Church was awarded the 2005 Outstanding Arts Organization given by the Arts Council of the Morris Area. The series is a recipient of a Block Grant given through the Arts Council of the Morris Area. The series also is supported by individual patrons. This will be the 27th year for Abendmusik and the 32nd year for Music At Noon.
