A concert series celebrating sacred and classical music, from Long Island's own gifted musicians to world-renowned artists.
The Cathedral of the Incarnation has long been a home for extraordinary music — and Music in the Cathedral continues that tradition, bringing together our own Cathedral musicians, local ensembles, and internationally acclaimed performers for a season of sacred and classical music in one of Long Island's most resonant and beautiful spaces.
Each concert offers something different: grand orchestral programs, intimate recitals, choral masterworks, and beloved seasonal traditions — all presented in the architectural and acoustic splendor of the Cathedral nave.
Support the Music: Join the Encore Circle
Great music doesn't happen by accident — it depends on the generosity of people who believe sacred and classical music deserve a world-class home on Long Island.
The Cathedral Encore Circle is our sponsorship program for those who want to help sustain this series and deepen their connection to it. For a minimum gift of $50 per year, Encore Circle members enjoy:
- VIP access to concerts throughout the season
- Invitations to special talks, receptions, and members-only gatherings
- Behind-the-scenes experiences with visiting artists and Cathedral musicians
- The satisfaction of knowing your support keeps world-class music accessible to the whole community
