Music at St. Paul's Cathedral
Music in the worship of God has long been part and parcel of the Church's history. Music transcends restrictions of time and place and takes us to a plane where, "How often, making music, we have found a new dimension in the world of sound, as worship moved us to a more profound Alleluia!" (in the words of Hymn 420) Opportunities abound for your participation in the Music Program at St. Paul's Cathedral.
