Music and liturgies

The Cathedral Choir at Christ Church has been recognized by the Nashville Scene as the "Best Church Music" in Nashville at times.[3] The choir participates in Sunday services as well as other services throughout the year.[4]

In addition to four Sunday liturgies, the cathedral maintains a rhythm of daily Morning Prayer and daily celebrations of the Holy Eucharist. Other special liturgies of the cathedral that happen throughout the year include Choral Evensong (usually with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament), the Feast of St. Francis and blessing of animals, and the Feast of St. Nicholas.
