Welcome,
On behalf of the people of the Cathedral of St. John, and
the Bishop and people of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, we
welcome you to this, our 21st season of concerts and special
choral worship services at the Cathedral of St. John.
The Friends of Cathedral Music series has long been a vital
part of the Cathedral’s outreach to the greater community. It
is an offering to the people of our city and beyond.
The Cathedral serves Albuquerque by opening its doors
and inviting others to share in these musical gifts. People
from all walks of life come from far and wide to experience
the splendor of our musical events. Your presence among us
enriches our lives.
We anticipate great moments for concert-goers with the
21st musical season at the Cathedral of St. John. We’ve
combined a memorable repertoire of classical music with
exceptionally talented artists from across the globe. The
2014–2015 season includes concerts, special liturgical events
and, throughout the season of Lent, musical meditations each
Friday evening alongside a unique opportunity to support our
Cathedral’s Food Pantry.
We invite you to join us: to take part, to share, to be
touched by the Spirit that moves through music, to be
nourished by that same Spirit, and be deepened in your
relationship with each other and God through great music
and talented musicians.
You are welcome at the Cathedral of St. John and you
honor us by your presence.
