Fall Concert Series at the Cathedral starts on October 24: Loss and search for solace

The summer break is over –and while school, football and fundraisers are back for a while, the concerts at the Corpus Christi Cathedral will finally resume in October.

Music Director Alex Oldroyd has a personal connection to the first work – “The Sacred Veil” by American Composer Eric Whitacre, with texts by Charles Anthony Silvestri. It tells the story of courtship, love, loss and the search for solace after Silvestri’s wife Julie died of ovarian cancer at age 36 in 2005, leaving two young children and her husband behind.

“My parents both passed away from cancer,” says Oldroyd.

The music and lyrics deal with the thin veil that separates life and death.

T he concert is especially dedicated to cancer survivors and families affected by cancer. The choir of the Cathedral will be joined by the Corpus Christi Chorale, directed by Devin Davis The concert starts at 7 pm on Tuesday, October 24. Tickets will be available online or at the cathedral.

Th e Cathedral Christmas will take place on Wednesday, December 6, kicking off the Christmas season.
