Many were blessed by their ministry through music as well as their fellowship, and brotherly love. We hope to partner with them in the future.

The Trinity Jazz Ensemble was one of the first ensembles in this genre with which I collaborated at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral. We had an enormously good time making music and the memories are most positive. I am so pleased that the ensemble is actively performing. You will be inspired and enlivened by their offerings. John Schaefer, Canon Musician Emeritus, Grace & Holy Trinity Cathedral |
