The 2003-04 Archdiocesan Cathedral Concert Series The 35th Annual Cathedral Concert Series, a season of exceptional musical events for the Newark community, will begin its 2003-04 performance series on Sunday, September 21. The magnificent architectural setting of the Cathedral Basilica, with its splendid acoustics and a world class pipe organ, combine to stimulate the listeners’ spirit to greater artistic heights. The mission of the Cathedral Music program is to lead and uplift the community in sung prayer by way of embracing of the assembly’s call to full, conscious and active participation. While affirming and celebrating the unique diversity of our community, the program acknowledges the Church’s rich heritage of music, and strives to compliment it with the vast resources of music from the current day. The Cathedral Choir offers a wide spectrum of choral music spanning several centuries, languages and cultures. Comprised of both professional and amateur singers, the membership represents many walks of life and a diversity of Christian religious traditions. The Cathedral Choir sings regularly at the Sunday Noon Mass as well as for other special events taking place in the Cathedral Basilica.
