St Albans Cathedral Music Trust

The St Albans Cathedral Music Trust (Registered Charity No.1051072) was established to support the Dean and Cathedral in their wish to preserve and enhance the centuries of choral worship here at St Albans Cathedral. Our vision for the future is for:

  • boys' and girls' cathedral choirs singing with the lay clerks as the central feature of a flourishing and financially secure musical life at the Cathedral
  • daily choral services in the Cathedral
  • regular concerts sponsored by the Cathedral
  • an instrumental music group which will play both in worship and for other events
  • the Cathedral's musical resources to be available to others, especially to our diocese, for example through choral and organ workshops

St Albans Cathedral Education Trust

The St Albans Cathedral Education Trust (Registered Charity No. 299317) supports the work of the Cathedral's learning teams with schools and other learning groups, families and adults.

The Cathedral is an enthusiastic proponent of education dating back to medieval times as a centre of learning. With over 18,000 children, young people and adults learning here every year, the Cathedral is committed to continuing to deliver innovative learning programmes that are accessible to all. But it cannot do this without support. The Education Trust launched a Patrons of Learning programme, along with primary and secondary Patron Schools programmes, through which individuals and schools can help continue high quality and innovative learning at the Cathedral.
