You’re Invited
Welcome to an exciting season of music at Downtown Orlando’s Episcopal Cathedral. Come and hear your favorite annual programs and delightful Sunday Matinée Concerts, with some of the best sacred music in Central Florida or anywhere.
The Cathedral Welcomes You
Everyone is invited free of charge, although offerings are always appreciated. Receptions follow many performances – please stay so we can meet you. Parking is always free. And free childcare is available often. Just check our website for updates and more information.
Two Formats
The Cathedral’s annual concert season features two different formats -- Sunday Matinee Concerts and a Sacred Music Series. On Sundays at 2 p.m or Matinees will feature a wide variety of musicians and musical styles from classical to modern, jazz, Broadway, folk, and patriotic. These incredibly talented artists come from Central Florida and beyond, even overseas. Our Sacred Music Series, however, features the Cathedral's own fine choirs and musicians, as they sing and lead beautiful worship in special services on Sunday evenings at 6 p.m., or for certain other occasions.
Always Park Free During Concerts!
For all music events, parking is free in the public lot on Washington at Magnolia. Also, downtown street meters are free all day on Sundays. Or park in the Regions Bank garage: Enter the up-ramp on Washington and receive an Entrance ticket. Please do not park in the spaces marked “Reserved” on Sundays. At the Cathedral, pickup an Exit ticket from an usher. Then using those two tickets, exit the garage free of charge.
