Cathedral Concert Series

Cathedral Concerts at St. Paul’s on Facebook

Cathedral Concerts at St. Paul’s, formerly known as Cathedral Concerts in the Evening, was established in 2020 by organist and music director Chad Pittman.  The concerts bring local, national, and international artists into the beautiful St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran sanctuary.  The excellent acoustics, as well as the Schantz organ and Steinway piano, enhance the artists’ offerings and make a culturally rich series possible for the wider community.  Schantz Organ Ranks
