What is TILT? The name TILT refers to the angle of the sun at the summer solstice, the point where the sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky for the year (the word “solstice” combines the Latin words sol for “sun” and sistere for “to stand still”). 

TILT is also a different angle on music, an intimate concert in celebration of light, taking place in the marvelous ambiance of Grace Cathedral on the longest day of the year. 

We begin the evening with The Warm Up, a reception with a signature TILT cocktail, local craft ales, and bistro bites. And as the sunlight fades from the glittering stained glass windows, revel in curated live performances. 

TILT is in memory of Paul Crane Dorfman (1939-2018), a good friend of the cathedral who loved music, culture, houses of worship, fresh ideas, and mentoring young people.
