The St Albans International Organ Festival and the Hertfordshire Lieutenancy are delighted to present a concert at St Albans Cathedral in celebration of HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Join us at St Albans Cathedral to mark this important national occasion, featuring over 250 performers with the celebrated choirmaster and broadcaster Gareth Malone as special presenter.
After concert costs are covered, net proceeds will be divided equally between Hospices serving Hertfordshire communities and St Albans International Organ Festival.
Headlining the concert will be London’s Southbank Sinfonia, described as an ‘orchestra like no other’ comprising thirty-three of the world’s most promising graduate musicians. The orchestra will be joined by a massed choir of 160 singers, a 60 voice children’s choir, fanfare trumpeters and other guest musicians.
Join us for this unique and thrilling concert of popular and ceremonial music from across The Queen’s reign, in the distinguished presence of members of the Royal Family.
