Schola 5th Anniversary Concert | Handel's Messiah

at Cadogan Hall

Last week, All Saints Schola Cantorum celebrated its fifth anniversary with a landmark performance of Handel’s Messiah at Cadogan Hall, joined by a professional orchestra and soloists. We were also thrilled to welcome back Schola alumni to sing!

The concert showcased the exceptional musical standards that the Schola has developed over the past five years and reflected the ambition, discipline and commitment of the young people involved, including the huge dedication of the staff who have led on this: Mr Bick & Dr James Slimings

The programme also featured Sir James MacMillan’s In Paradisum, a work commissioned for the Schola and premiered at Westminster Cathedral last June for the 8th anniversary mass for Grenfell.

Since its foundation, the Schola has established a reputation for artistic excellence, regularly collaborating with leading musicians, composers and performers. This anniversary concert was both a celebration of that achievement and a powerful reminder of the transformative opportunities that high-quality music education can provide.

Thank you to our students, alumni, staff, professional musicians, families and supporters whose dedication and encouragement made this special event possible. We are immensely proud of all involved and excited for what the future holds.
