CLASSICS FOR THE CROWN

ANGELS & SAINTS
Sunday, November 3, 2024
Throughout the whole of music history, nothing has inspired composers more than writing music to be sung for worship. The Cathedral Choral Scholars will be joined by Servire, the choral ensemble with a mission to sing and serve throughout the Southeast. This program gives listeners the rare opportunity to hear two professional choirs under one roof. These exceptional ensembles will perform works from the entire body of sacred repertoire from the Renaissance to living composers.
CHRISTMAS AT THE CATHEDRAL
Sunday, December 15, 2024
The Cathedral Choir and Chamber Orchestra present their annual program of music for Advent and Christmas. Scripture readings juxtaposed with choral music tell the story of the Christ child from the foretelling by the prophets to the visit of the Magi. The audience also has the opportunity to join the choir, orchestra, and organ in singing the traditional carols of the season.
