Musical Offerings and Events

Choral Evensong
Sunday, April 28 at 5:00 pm, organ prelude at 4:45 pm

Our final service of Choral Evensong for the program year, at 5 pm April 28, includes the Responses of Bermuda-born contemporary composer Gabriel Jackson and the Service In G of British-born composer Francis Jackson (no relation).

Gabriel Jackson (b. 1962) is probably best known for his vocal music, and while he cites Michael Tippett and Igor Stravinsky as influences, he is also drawn to soul and R&B. Francis Jackson (1917- 2022) was organist and music director at York Minster for 36 years. His extensive output of sacred and secular music includes canticles, anthems, hymn tunes (including the widely sung “East Acklam”), organ sonatas and other organ pieces, an organ concerto, a symphony, chamber music, and solo songs.

An organ prelude is at 4:45 p.m. Dwight Thomas is director of music and organist, and the Cathedral Chamber Choir sings. A freewill offering is taken, and a reception follows.

Thomas Talk

Michelle Thomas, Dwight Thomas and Thomas Williams come together to talk about all things music. You can view the recorded conversations below.

Music and Arts at the Cathedral

Your Cathedral Choir has been very hard at work! Over the last several weeks the choir has rehearsal virtually and is pleased to bring you this Easter hymn in virtual-choir style.

Many thanks to Dwight Thomas, Director of Music and Organist, and especially to Tim Snyder for walking the group through this process and putting together such a beautiful video.
