Dear Editor,
I continue to be impressed with the work of Christ Church Cathedral’s director of music, Donald Hunt. His article (Cathedral connects young people to music education) is yet another fine description of the effort he and his colleagues and choirs are making, not only to educate young people in the centuries-old traditions of cathedral music, but also to promote a wide variety of musical offerings at our cathedral, a teaching role which cathedrals are well-positioned to play. My thanks to him for mentioning last May’s choral evensong, sung by the young choristers at my parish, St. Andrew’s in Sidney.
The last two paragraphs of his article, while focused primarily on music education for young people, also reveal how passionate Hunt feels about his work and the incredibly rich music program the cathedral offers, not only on site but also in the diocese and beyond. We are extremely fortunate to have such a capable musician in our midst.
