Cathedral of St. John in the Wilderness
1350 Washington Street
Denver, CO 80203
Opened: 1911
Architects: Evarts Tracy and Egerton Swartwout
This Late Gothic Revival cathedral is the seat of the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. Like many large Episcopal churches, it had an excellent traditional music program. I was a member of the choir for about four months until the service schedule and my academic workload became irreconcilable, although I returned for a few weeks in the summer of 2016 right before leaving town.
