Teodosia Sponsorship
The Academy of Sacred Drama's oratorio performances are made possible largely through the generosity of our donors. One of the primary ways that we balance the budget for our oratorio performances is through sponsorships.
We invite you to support the upcoming performance of "Teodosia: An Alt-Valentine Oratorio," the Academy’s production of Alessandro Scarlatti’s oratorio Il martirio di Santa Teodosia from 1685.
Performances will take place:
Saturday, February 14, 2026 at Village Hall at St. James Church in North Salem https://luma.com/teodosia-ns
Sunday, February 15, 2026 at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in New York City https://luma.com/teodosia-nyc
