Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, to honor musician Daniel Hathaway on conclusion of 31-year ministry

April 02, 2008 [Episcopal News Service] Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio, will honor musician and liturgist Daniel Hathaway on Sunday, June 29 at its 10 am service as he concludes his 31-year of ministry as Canon for Music, Art and Worship.
 
The celebration, open to all, will include a festival Eucharist at which Hathaway, a graduate of the Episcopal Divinity School, will preach. Singers who have performed in Trinity’s choir under Hathaway’s direction are invited to join a reunion choir for the day, and a reception will follow the service.
 
“Daniel’s gifted ministry at Trinity has provided our cathedral with worship that glorifies God and our city with excellent classical music for all people,” said the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, dean of Trinity. “His artistic vision has been essential to Trinity’s growth and civic mission, and although we will miss him terribly, we celebrate his new opportunities and wish him great joy in his new life.”
 
Hathaway, who is leaving Trinity to pursue new professional opportunities in North and South America, became director of music at Trinity Cathedral in 1977. He founded Music & Performing Arts at Trinity and the Brownbag Concert Series in 1978, and the Trinity Chamber Orchestra in 1986. In 2001, he was installed as Canon for Music, Art & Worship.
 
An acclaimed organist, Hathaway has played recitals in cathedrals in New York, Washington, Kansas City, Missouri, and Topeka, Kansas; in Chester, Edinburgh, Norwich and Winchester in the United Kingdom; and in France, Germany, Austria and Sweden. While a student at Harvard University, he conducted the Bach Society Orchestra and served as assistant conductor of the Harvard Glee Club and Radcliffe Choral Society for the three-month Asian Tour of 1967. He made his Latin American conducting debut in April of 2004 in a production of Dido & Aeneas at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, and during the summer of 2004 taught conducting at a Beethoven course sponsored by the Fundación el Sonido y el Tiempo in San Martin, Province of Buenos Aires. He was also guest conductor of the Orquésta de Camára del Neuquén in Patagonia.
 
In addition to his career at Trinity, Hathaway, who was also educated at Harvard and Princeton University, has been president of the Harvard Club of Northeast Ohio; music director of Great Lakes Theatre Festival; assistant chorus master of Cleveland Opera; upper school music director for Laurel School in Shaker Heights; and lecturer in music at Cleveland State University. He has served on the Music Panel of the Ohio Arts Council.
