Works by Paul Hindemith, Florence Price, & Franz Liszt

St. James Cathedral Director of Music and Cathedral Organist Joseph Adam offers the first concert of the 2024 Summer Concerts series. More information about the program coming soon.

Concert length is approximately one hour with no intermission.

JOSEPH ADAM was first appointed Cathedral Organist at St. James Cathedral in 1993, and was named Director of Music in 2018. There he leads a program that includes three adult choirs and four youth choirs that provides music for nearly 600 services annually, as well as an extensive concert series that presents a wide range of choral and organ programs. In July 2022, he conducted the Cathedral Choir in two services of Vespers for the Feast of St. James, part of the offerings of the National Convention of the American Guild of Organists.

A dedicated educator, for twenty years he taught organ and harpsichord as a faculty member at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma; for two years he was Artist-in-Residence in Organ at the University of Washington. As Resident Organist of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra since 2003, he performs regularly as a member of the keyboard section of the orchestra, undertaking organ, harpsichord, piano, and celesta parts, as well as annual solo recitals.

After each concert in the summer series, join us outside in the Archbishop Murphy Courtyard (south side of the Cathedral) for a free sorbet reception and an opportunity to meet the artists!
