Summertime, what could be more idyllic? Typically evoking a rural or pastoral theme, idylls celebrate and elevate scenes from everyday life. In Summer "Idylls" this traditional form is expanded to capture a variety of summer scenes. Featuring a collection of music from Bach to Gershwin, the program travels from listlessness, to romance, and finally escapes from the city to the rural for much needed vacation.

Come enjoy an afternoon of splendid vocal music featuring the talents of singers from St. Matthew's Schola Cantorum and Contemporary Choir in the Great Hall of the Rectory. The concert is free and open to the public. Guests will be given an opportunity to hear about the Great Organ of the Cathedral and our final efforts to complete this magnificent instrument for our 175th Anniversary.
