ARTS & MUSIC AT THE MADELEINE
CONCERTS, FESTIVALS, AND MORE!
The Catholic Church is the single greatest patron of the arts. And cathedrals around the world have celebrated the performing arts for over a thousand years.
More than a venue, the Cathedral of the Madeleine is a space ordered to the glory of God, shaped by a long history of faith, prayer, and sacrifice. Here sacred art lives—not as decoration, but as living expression. The architecture, the acoustics, the very symbolism of this place deepen the work, allowing it to speak with a fullness that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
The 2026 - 2027 Season
Arts & Music at the Madeleine
For nearly four decades, the Cathedral of the Madeleine has proudly presented three distinct musical and artistic programs: the Cathedral Choir Concert Series, the Eccles Organ Festival, and the Madeleine Festival of the Arts and Humanities. These are now combined under a single, comprehensive banner: Arts & Music at the Madeleine. Over the course of thirty-eight years, tens of thousands of patrons have enjoyed these programs. And this year, the Cathedral is thrilled to continue to provide you a home to witness the full breadth, depth, synergy, and beauty of these artistic offerings!

Cathedral Choir Concert Series
The Choir of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, formed by the choristers of The Madeleine Choir School and the Men of the Choir, serves to support the liturgy of the Catholic Church in Utah and to promote the heritage of sacred music through musical excellence and devotion to worship.
This year, as the Madeleine Choir School celebrates its 30th anniversary, the Cathedral remains committed to securing the long-term viability, accessibility, and artistic excellence of these presentations. A select few events within the Cathedral Choir Concert Series will require paid tickets (while all performances in the Eccles Organ Festival and the Madeleine Festival remain entirely free of charge). This balanced approach allows the Cathedral to continue offering you bold and varied programming, featuring local professional musicians, internationally acclaimed guest conductors and performers, rising international talent, and the extraordinary choristers of the Madeleine Choir School.
Your presence and support enable the Cathedral to fulfill its vital role as a center of artistic and cultural life in our community!
