From the dedication of the cathedral in 1907, scared music has been at the forefront of the cathedral’s artistic life. The cathedral’s first music director and organist Dr. Franklin Sawyer Palmer developed a liturgical music program recognized nationally for performance of Gregorian chant, education of children through the Justine Ward method, and early use of radio for sacred music.

In recent decades the Cathedral’s music program has again achieved national recognition for the musical participation of the congregation; for its six pipe organs; for its nine choirs and for its concerts of sacred music.
