Members are invited to support the Help Musicians UK Festival of St Cecilia on Wednesday 19th November at 11.00.  This year it is to be held at Westminster Abbey and our Master, Wardens and Liverymen, fully robed, are invited to take part in the procession. Admission will be free, but by ticket only.

This year’s service will feature the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Cathedral, directed by Andrew Nethsingha.  The service will also premiere a specially commissioned anthem by composer Piers Connor Kennedy.
