St Albans Cathedral Music Trust St Albans Cathedral is a centre of musical excellence with the finest choirs in the country, a magnificent Harrison & Harrison organ and busy programme of musical events and concerts. Unlike many cathedrals, St Albans has no historical endowment to support its music. The St Albans Cathedral Music Trust funds music at the Cathedral, with a keen objective of sustaining its choral music to the highest quality. The Trust also aims to raise funds to support the Cathedral's planned Partnership Programme, to take this excellence into the community.
