Music

St. Paul’s Cathedral has a strong history of excellence in sacred music and is one of the few Episcopal Churches that sustains two sung Eucharistic services for Sundays as well as regular Choral Evensong and sung Compline. As the cathedral for the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, St. Paul’s is an important musical presence in the community and prides itself on a standard of excellence in sacred music and liturgy.

As members of the Episcopal Church and the larger global Anglican Communion, we take part in an ancient and venerable musical tradition, a heritage of inestimable value. All choral and musical components of the liturgy are an offering of praise and prayer. At its best, the music offered is intended to inspire and enable prayerful devotion while also representing the corporate worship of the cathedral parish as a whole.

There are many opportunities to be involved in music ministry at the cathedral. Please contact Canon Precentor & Director of Music, Joseph Ripka for more information.

2023 D.C. Trip

On July 23, 2023, the Cathedral Choir & Choristers led worship at the Washington National Cathedral at both the 11:15 a.m. mass and 4:00 p.m. Choral Evensong. They were accompanied by some congregational guests of St. Paul's OKC. The Choir spent time touring the D.C. area, visiting museums, monuments, great restaurants and enjoyed touring and rehearsing at Christ Church in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Links to the National Cathedral YouTube Channel are below if you'd like to check out the services. Thank you to all who made the trip a great success!
