St Mary's Catholic Cathedral hosts a special concert on 20 November 2026 featuring the Schola Cantorum performing music by Arthur Oldham.

A special concert bringing back to life the music of Arthur Oldham, the Cathedral’s internationally renowned choirmaster from 1956-71.
On Friday 20th November at 7:30pm the Schola Cantorum will perform a special concert featuring the music of Arthur Oldham, the Cathedral’s renowned choirmaster from 1956-71. Marking the centenary of his birth, the concert is the culmination of a special project to bring to life Oldham’s music housed in the cathedral archives.
The Schola Cantorum will sing music by Oldham that was last heard in a musical golden age at St Mary’s that is still remembered today. The choir will also perform pieces from its own, present era, bringing the two ages of music-making together in a celebration of Oldham’s musical legacy, and the Cathedral’s continuing musical flourishing. The concert will help raise money for a new CD recording of the Schola Cantorum.
