Liturgical Music
The Cathedral community shares a rich liturgical life, with well over 200 liturgies every year which require music. The music of our liturgy is our choir's first and most spiritual priority. We are dedicated to grafting, through our liturgical music, our spirits and lives to one another in Christ. The choir provides music for Holy Eucharist each Sunday at the 9:00 am and 11:15 am services (10:00 am during the summer months).
Evensong
There is also a Choral Evensong in the English Cathedral tradition on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 3:30 pm. Many people have come to value Evensong as a significant part of their spiritual lives. Upcoming Evensong services: February 19, March 18, April 15, May 20.
