Our Mission

Our Mission at Concerts at the Cathedral Basilica is to host World Renowned Artists in our Historic Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul to enrich the lives of those living in Philadelphia and the Surrounding areas.


Experience World Renowned Artists
in Pennsylvania’s Largest Cathedral

Since its opening in 1864, the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul has enjoyed incredibly enriching musical experiences. From the days of William Thunder, Principal Organist for the Philadelphia Orchestra under famed director Leopold Stokowski, to the days of Peter LaManna, one of the United State’s leading Directors of Liturgical Music. Since its inception in 2011, Concerts at the Cathedral Basilica continues to liven the walls of this 150 year old cathedral with musical ensembles from all over the world.
