Thank God IT’s Friday

Every Friday, the Wellington Cathedral of St. Paul invites a local musician to perform in our TGIF Lunchtime Concerts. As your work week draws to a close, we invite you to join us in celebrating the talents of outstanding musicians from around the country.

Concerts begin at 12:45 in the Cathedral Nave each Friday. Entry by donation.

Featuring Exceptional Talent

Each week brings a new performance to the Cathedral, ensuring that every visit is a unique auditory experience. Whether you're a lover of classical music, jazz, choral works, or experimental instrumental pieces, we hope you will enjoy and support our featured artists.
