Music
Music holds the power to touch our hearts and transform our lives. At the Cathedral, music is at the core of everything we do – it brings us together, directs our souls to God and lifts our spirits to the heavens.
Welcome to Music at the Cathedral!
I’m thrilled to welcome you to the Music program here at the Cathedral, where we are honored to serve as 21st century stewards of a timeless tradition. Music at the Cathedral is about so much more than stringing notes together; we aim to create something beautiful, unique and inspiring. This exquisite expression of our faith opens pathways to God, and I hope you will find something that touches your soul. Welcome!
–Michael McCarthy, Canon for Music and Director of Institutional Planning
