The musicians of the Cathedral sing from the choir loft, which remains above the sanctuary, located between the new reredos and the new rose window. Their sound fills the Cathedral through the open space of the reredos. The acoustics for which the Cathedral is known will be retained through careful use of sound technology and newly curved choir risers. The addition of a lift makes the space accessible for all musicians and facilitates the moving of instruments and equipment. On either side of the rose window, wooden casework contains over 3,000 pipes of the great organ with the trumpets slightly behind the reredos on either side. All of these features enable the newly renovated Cathedral to be a place of beauty to the eye and the ear alike. For more than half a century, talented women and men have enhanced our liturgies, brought solace to the grieving, and enlivened our celebrations through their gift of song.
