Cathedral Music Conference 2027

Please note that the conference dates have changed from those previously advertised. The conference will now take place on 25 and 26 February 2027.

We are delighted to host our second conference in February 2027 at Drapers’ Hall, Coventry, on the theme 'The Impact of Cathedral Music on Educational Outcomes'. Bringing together researchers, practitioners, educators, musicians and policymakers, the conference will examine themes around cathedral music’s contribution to educational outcomes in their broadest sense.

The event opens at 11am on Thursday with arrivals and refreshments, followed by an afternoon of inspiring presentations and discussion. In the early evening, attendees will experience a beautiful service of Evensong sung by the joint choirs of Coventry Cathedral and Holy Trinity Church, before enjoying a three-course dinner. The day concludes with an address from an after dinner speaker (Guest TBC). Friday begins at 9am with a further programme of talks and conversations, closing around 2.30pm.

Subsidised tickets are available for employees of cathedrals and other places of worship that offer at least two choral services most weeks during term time, and students in higher education. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a subsidised ticket please get in touch.
