The Concerts of All Hallows originated in 2003 with a modest Christmas program featuring six performers; the Orchestra now performs for nearly 5,000 people each year at All Hallows Church and other venues around the region.

Past major performances include Schubert's Mass in A-flat Major, Mozart's Requiem (the Levin completion), Beethoven's Fifth and Third (Eroica), Saint-Saens' Symphony Number Three (Organ), the Robert Ray Gospel Mass (a collaboration with the Voices of Faith) Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass, Amahl and the Night Visitors (light opera for full orchestra; Art Grueneberger, puppeteer) and multiple other magnificent pieces.

The Orchestra customarily schedules three major events each season: a Fall event (a fund-raiser for John Paul II School and Cristo Rey High School), a Christmas production, and a Spring production. The Orchestra also schedules matinee programs for students from area schools, customarily on the Friday schoolday preceding the Concert weekend.
