Tickets will not be available after 11:30 p.m. on April 5. \nJoin us for a special event at Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside\, where we will explore the architecture and history of the distinctive building and also experience a Choral Evensong service performed by the Calvary Choir— one of the foremost Episcopal church choirs in the country. \nDesigned by Boston architect Ralph Adams Cram\, one of America’s foremost proponents of the Gothic Revival style\, the church was built in 1905-07\, and is recognized not only for its awesome architectural aesthetics\, but also its extraordinary acoustics.

First Baptist Church (1909-12) in Oakland was designed by Cram’s firm and partner\, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. \nThrough this event\, participants will get an opportunity to learn about how Cram expressed his architectural ideas through music and liturgy and then experience his singular vision for themselves. \nThe tour will be led by The Reverend Jonathon Jensen\, Rector of the church\, and Philip Maye\, a member of the church’s Architectural History Committee. \nFree parking is available in the church’s parking lot. Free street parking is also available in the neighborhood. \nPlease arrive 15 minutes before start time in order to ensure that the tour gets underway on time.\nThis tour is handicap accessible.
