Festival of St. Cecilia
Help Musicians’ annual celebration of music
On Wednesday 19 November we were joined by over 900 guests at Westminster Abbey in London for our annual celebration — the Festival of St Cecilia.
This year’s festival featured uplifting performances from the choirs of Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral and St Paul’s Cathedral, directed by Andrew Nethsingha, Organist and Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey.
Composer Piers Connor Kennedy shared his new anthem, Anthem for St Cecilia’s Day, and we were treated to a breath-taking performance of Ave Maria, accompanied by the organ, by soprano and Help Musicians – supported artist Sophie Bevan MBE.
The day ended with a special lunch at One Great George Street where guest enjoyed three beautiful performances from Help Musicians – supported artist and musical theatre Chad Saint Louis.
