About This Concert

A lunchtime concert for the St Ceciliatide Festival – celebrating the Patron Saint of Music.

The St Ceciliatide Festival (Artistic Director: Past Master Noel Osborne) presents the Stationers’ annual St Ceciliatide Concert, given by The Hanover Band Chamber Ensemble and the Consone Quartet.

St CECILIA, the patron saint of music and musicians, has been celebrated at Stationers’ Hall since at least 1692, when Henry Purcell’s second Ode ‘Hail, Bright Cecilia’ received its world première here in the Hall.

The event will begin with a Champagne Reception in the Stock Room from 11.30 am, followed by the Concert in the Hall, which will last for about one hour, without interval. A buffet lunch with wines will be provided in the Court Room at 1.30 pm, when you will be able to mingle with the musicians. Carriages will be at 3 pm.

Your support for this concert, which forms part of the Hanover Band’s charitable programme, ‘Nurturing the Next Generation’, will be greatly appreciated and valued.

Last year’s concert sold out, so early booking is advised.
