As we approach the start of the new school year, we wanted to look back at the fantastic time we had at Chester Cathedral for our Hub Wide Celebration on 4th July!

Musicians from across Cheshire and the Wirral came together for a wonderful day of music, featuring recitals, choirs, percussion, brass and orchestral performances across four concerts.

We were also delighted to welcome Gary Curtin, Principal Euphonium of the world-famous Foden’s Band, who adjudicated our Young Musician of the Year competitions and the Primary Schools Music Competition finals.

A huge congratulations to everyone who performed and took part – and, of course, to all our competition winners! 👏

We asked Matt from Matthew Smith Photography to capture the day, and he has put together this brilliant video giving a flavour of what was a very special celebration. 🎥

If you’d like to get in touch with Matt about photography for your own event, you can find his details below. He offers a FREE phone consultation or meeting to discuss your requirements and pricing:
