Festival of St. Cecilia

Help Musicians’ annual celebration of music
Join us for this year’s Festival of St Cecilia, a celebration that honours St Cecilia, the patroness of music, and the musicians who enrich our lives.
This year, the service will be held at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday 19 November at 11:00 am, followed by an optional fundraising luncheon at the nearby One Great George Street. Tickets for the fundraising luncheon are priced at £115pp, and all proceeds will go directly to Help Musicians, supporting musicians in the UK to thrive.
Under the expert direction of Andrew Nethsingha, Director of Music at Westminster Abbey the combined choirs of Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Cathedral will reunite to perform once again. This years’ service will feature the premiere of a specially created anthem by Piers Connor Kennedy, along with a special performance to be confirmed at a later date.
Help Musicians relies on vital funds to support musicians across the UK. While tickets to the service are complimentary, we warmly encourage guests to make a donation when booking. 100% of every donation will directly support the thousands of musicians who need our help every year.
We hope you will be able to join us for this special occasion.
