24th Annual Christmas at the Cathedral – Dec. 17, 18, 19, 20
The 24th Christmas at the Cathedral will be performed with six concerts December 17-20 at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph. This year’s theme, “That’s My God” is an important message of hope, especially during this year of uncertainty and crisis. It reminds us that we are not alone and we should never give up hope. When it appeared as though the human race was doomed to self-destruction, God sent his own divine Son, incarnate in Jesus of Nazareth. He was homeless, an immigrant, born in a cave, a refugee. He entered into the darkness of our human disorder, bringing His eternal Light.
This is what motivates us and why we are excited to produce an inspiring and safe Christmas at The Cathedral 2020, with this year’s theme, “That’s My God!” on December 17-20, at the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, or viewing, in the safety of your home, a private viewing of a special video production.
The live production will have a specially designed orchestra performing the specially arranged music compositions of Christmas at The Cathedral Music Director and Conductor, Dan Goeller. We are excited to welcome back internationally acclaimed tenor, Scott Piper, and feature for the first time soprano, Janette Obermueller, a former Walt Disney World performer.
COVID-19 safety protocols are being implemented at all concerts, based on the latest federal, state and city health recommendations. Attendance is being limited to 50% of capacity. For those with elevated risks and other health concerns, three of the concerts have been designated for mandatory masks.
