The Music Department of the Cathedral of St. Patrick serves to provide liturgical and concert music for the most visible Roman Catholic Cathedral in the United States. Four full-time staff work in harmony to plan and execute all of the music that emanates within the historic Gothic structure, the seat of the Archbishop of New York.
In addition to the full-time music staff, almost 70 additional music-ministers – choristers and cantors, aid in facilitating the faithful in sung prayer for Mass every day of the year. The glorious 150-rank Kilgen organ, built in 1930, can also be heard every day of the year.
Visiting choruses, organists and instrumentalists-in residence can be heard throughout the year as a part of the Cathedral Concert Series.
Whether coming for liturgy, prayer, or concerts, both the Cathedral parishioner and visitor alike will be surely uplifted by the talents of the Cathedral of St. Patrick Music Ministry.
If you wish to find out more information about our choir, any of our concerts, or are interested in joining the Friends of Music, please e-mail Robert Evers, Music Administrator at RMESPC@aol.com
