“Crowning his 22 years at Christ Church, Patrick Wedd will present his final concert as organist and music director of the Cathedral.  For this special occasion, he has chosen three works by Stravinsky: The Mass, Symphonies d’Instruments à vent, and the Berceuse and Finale from the ballet L'Oiseau de feu.  He will be joined by a chamber orchestra, the Cathedral Singers and many others who have sung at the Cathedral throughout his years there. This gala event will take place on Saturday, June 16th, at 7:30 p.m., at Christ Church Cathedral, 635 St. Catherine Street West (McGill Metro).
