Featuring live music made available at no charge to attendees by the Catholic Foundation.
“The concert series has proven to be a significant asset to the community,” said artistic director Carlos Zapién. “Besides having internationally renowned performers, the concert series fosters local talent by providing a platform for musicians and artists to showcase their work, while also attracting visitors and enhancing community engagement. The concert series promotes social cohesion, bringing together diverse groups, and encouraging dialogue among attendees.”
The Cathedral Concert Series is one way that the local Catholic Church engages with the transcendence of beauty. Past years were extremely successful and “overwhelmingly positive,” said Zapién. “Many attendees expressed appreciation for the opportunity to enjoy live performances, which enrich their cultural experiences. These free concerts have not only entertained but also inspired a sense of pride in local artistry.”

“Every genuine artistic intuition goes beyond what the senses perceive and, reaching beneath reality's surface, strives to interpret its hidden mystery. The intuition itself springs from the depths of the human soul, where the desire to give meaning to one's own life is joined by the fleeting vision of beauty and of the mysterious unity of things. All artists experience the unbridgeable gap which lies between the work of their hands, however successful it may be, and the dazzling perfection of the beauty glimpsed in the ardor of the creative moment: what they manage to express in their painting, their sculpting, their creating is no more than a glimmer of the splendor which flared for a moment before the eyes of their spirit. Believers find nothing strange in this: they know that they have had a momentary glimpse of the abyss of light which has its original wellspring in God.”
