Choir singing with Christmas flower decorations in the backgroundThroughout the Cathedral’s history, people from across our nation have experienced this place as a spiritual home and have been inspired by the music here.

The annual Friends of Music campaign is the most important source of revenue for the Cathedral Music Program. Your gift to the Music Program is tax-deductible and directly supports our dedicated staff, artists in residence and choristers, as well as our concert series and organ recitals.

Like all the Cathedral’s ministries and activities, our music program receives no funding from the federal government or any national church body. The generosity of loyal supporters like you makes every service, concert and program possible.

Has Cathedral Music touched your life? We invite you to join our community of music friends by making a gift at a level that is meaningful to you. With your support, your Cathedral will continue to share worship and music of the highest quality with audiences worldwide.
