Welcome to Great Music in a Great Space, presenting exceptional choral and organ music in the majestic expanse of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, one of New York City’s landmark treasures. The Cathedral Choirs, Cathedral Orchestra and Great Organ are among the best the city has to offer, and our upcoming season is packed with programs you won’t want to miss.

Bach in October to the exquisite consolation of Fauré’s Requiem in March, a “world music” concert exploring the Holy Land, and an organ concert featuring a brilliant transcription of Mahler’s Symphony No.2.
