Music has long been an integral part of the Church. Throughout the years the Church has fostered an increase in the repertory of music, especially sacred music. And so, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of New York and “America’s Parish Church,” has the opportunity to offer an annual concert series as part of its music program. The Cathedral Concert Series has been a long-standing tradition at the Cathedral as part of its patronage of the arts–fostering a genuine appreciation of both ancient and contemporary compositions.

The 2011-2012 season begins with the 7th annual Three Organists Spectacular featuring the Cathedral's three gifted organists with a special tribute celebrating the 125th anniversary of the birth of Pietro A. Yon, former Music Director and Organist. Then, to put everyone in the proper spirit for celebrating Christmas, we have the 32nd annual A City Singing at Christmas in December. Next, in February, we have the Brass Celebration featuring the New York Symphonic Brass, the Cathedral’s resident brass ensemble. In March, the annual Irish Heritage Concert celebrates Saint Patrick, the Patron of the Cathedral and the Archdiocese of New York. Finally, in May, the season concludes with the annual performance of the St. Patrick’s Cathedral Choir and Orchestra. This season they will be performing Mozart’s Mass in C Minor, K. 427.

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Season of the Cathedral Concert Series at St. Patrick’s Cathedral!
