In dulci jubilo

For 33 years, Leo Abbott played the masses and special events at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, where he served as the Director of Music and Organist from April 1, 1986 until Sept. 1, 2018, when he officially retired from his positions.

It was Abbott who, some three decades ago, spearheaded a fundraising campaign for the restoration of the cathedral's historic E. and G.G. Hook and Hastings pipe organ, which had been originally installed in 1875.

Abbott has held recitals all over the world, performing for audiences in Ireland, England, France, Belgium, and in venues across the U.S.
