From Indiana-Christ Church Cathedral will commemorate its 175th anniversary this year. The Episcopal church is one of the oldest buildings in Indiana; the current location was finished in 1857.
In the early 19th century, Christ Church was known as “The Little Church on the Circle,” which later became the title of the history of the congregation, written by church member and philanthropist Eli Lilly. It was established as a parish in 1837 being one of the four churches at the center of Monument Circle. It’s the only church still there.
“It’s an honor. How many people get to serve in a church with this long and rich history,” said Stephen Carlsen dean of Christ Church.
In addition to its unique history, the Episcopal cathedral will also honor its music during a concert entitled, Music for Royal Occasions on May 19 at 4:30 p.m. The choirs of Christ Church Cathedral and soloists and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra will perform.
According to Dana Marsh, director of music at Christ Church, the music is festive and enriching.
“It’s happy music! It’ll be presented in a way that everybody can appreciate. When people can connect with what the heart and soul of this music is they absolutely love it,” said Marsh.
