The Cathedral Choir, Orchestra, and Soloists are joined by Judy Collins and host Harry Smith for this beloved Cathedral event, founded by Leonard Bernstein in 1984. The annual New Year’s Eve Concert for Peace has gathered old friends and new for more than a quarter of a century. This year we honor the legacy of Leonard Bernstein with a performance of his Chichester Psalms, a profound work that is sure to inspire a spirit of peace in the audience as we begin a New Year together, renewed in hope for the world we share.
