St. Louis Cathedral Concerts

St. Louis Cathedral Concerts has been presenting world-class musicians and educational programs for the greater St. Louis community for over 30 years.

St. Louis Cathedral Concerts was born in 1992 recognizing the opportunity for the Cathedral to become a cultural landmark for the larger community beyond the Archdiocese of St. Louis. Within a year, St. Louis Cathedral Concerts, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established to showcase exceptional musical artists and programs in the unique and inspiring Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.

Selective and creative programming brought international, national and local artists, not duplicated in the area. Cathedral Concerts is a cultural center for the entire St. Louis metropolitan area and has grown from a small concert presenter to one of the most significant cultural institutions in St. Louis, having presented over 150 musical performers through its history, half of which had never before performed live in St. Louis.

St. Louis Cathedral Concerts places emphasis on sacred and classical music composed for such a space as the Cathedral. Ensembles experienced in performing in such a setting are sought, and educational opportunities for all are created around concerts. To date, St. Louis Cathedral Concerts has entertained and enlightened more than 275,000 audience members through performances and educational programs.

Concert highlights of the past 30 seasons include:
Concert presentations: Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Boston Camerata, Canadian Brass, Chanticleer, Choir of King's College, Choir of Westminster Abbey, London; Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra, Girl's Choir of Harlem, Vienna Boys Choir, Moses Hogan Chorale, National Lutheran Choir, Senegal St. Joseph Gospel Choir from Dakar, Senegal; Tenebrae, Stile Antico.
