We are deeply saddened by the news that Tom Hammond, our Principal Conductor, died suddenly at home on Monday 27th December. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and worked with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his partner family at this difficult time.

We have taken the decision to cancel our New Year's Day concert as we have too many players in isolation. If you have purchased a ticket, the Abbey will be in contact with details of how you will be refunded. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome the New Year in the glorious surroundings of St Albans Cathedral! #holst #strauss #music
