A Feast for the Soul
A Feast for the Soul: A Fundraiser for the Cathedral, Thursday, October 10, 2024, 6:30pm
The Cathedral has long stood as a place of spiritual fulfillment, inspiring and uplifting all who venture through the great Bronze Doors. On October 10th, you’re invited to come through those doors and join us for a celebratory evening of art, poetry, and music.
In the Nave you’ll find works of art on view for the first time in decades, all with a unique connection to the Cathedral, along with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres by Canard, Inc. Attendees will also enjoy after-hours access to Janet Cardiff’s contemporary sound installation, The Forty Part Motet, on loan from MoMA.
The evening will continue with a dance performance curated by Art Bath, featuring Time Lapse Dance, followed by Marie Howe, Cathedral poet-in-residence, reading one of her works, and a dazzling performance from the JACK Quartet.
After an evening of enjoying this collaborative artistic inspiration and legacy, we’re invited to imagine future possibilities, and leave the evening spiritually nourished.
Purchase tickets on the form below. The estimated value of goods and services for each ticket is $100. Any additional funds serve as a tax-deductible donation benefitting Cathedral and its programs.
