Music

Music played before and after the services on the Cathedral's magnificent pipe organ is chosen for spiritual reflection, or as accents for special holidays. For Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, Advent, and Lent, the organ music reflects the tone of the occasion, often involving re-creations of very old organ music as new, refreshing updated settings.

Canon for Music Timothy Tuller is a native of Elmira, New York, is a summa cum laude graduate of Ithaca College. Since January 2007, he has served as Canon for Music here at St. John's Cathedral. Tim earned his Master of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he received the valedictory prize. Previously the Music Associate at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, Tim has more than sixteen years of freelance service-playing experience in several Christian denominations. His principal organ teachers include Richard L. Shae, J. William Greene, Allison Evans-Henry, and Todd Wilson.
