The Cathedral Arts Committee, working in collaboration with the Director of Music and Cathedral Arts, currently sponsors a regular program of weekend ticketed performances throughout the year, as well as a series of free Thursday lunch-time events. These include concerts on the cathedral’s Vedder Van Dyck tracker organ (designed by Karl Wilhelm of Montréal), recitals performed on the 1927 Steinway B piano, and a wide range of instrumental and vocal performances supported by the cathedral’s glorious acoustics. The space’s flexible seating easily accommodates a wide range of audiences, from intimate gatherings to several hundred people.
Cathedral Arts is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its income furthers the work of the arts series at the Cathedral and the educational support of Cathedral musicians who perform in its concerts.
