Help Us Bring Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast to the Stage
Support Hampstead Chamber Choir’s 50th Anniversary Concert
On Saturday 21 November 2026, Hampstead Chamber Choir will celebrate its 50th anniversary with an ambitious and spectacular concert at Smith Square Hall, London.
We will perform Sir William Walton’s monumental Belshazzar’s Feast — one of the great choral works of the 20th century — together with Orb and Sceptre March, A Litany and Coronation Te Deum.
This will be a very special evening of music, bringing together the voices of Hampstead Chamber Choir, The Cantus Ensemble, Covent Garden Chorus and Orchestra of the City, under the direction of Dominic Brennan, with baritone soloist Jerome Knox
This concert is more than another performance. It marks half a century of Hampstead Chamber Choir — fifty years of singing, friendship, music-making and bringing outstanding choral repertoire to audiences in North West London.
We would love you to be part of this celebration.
Putting on a concert of this scale requires a substantial commitment of musical, venue and production resources. Your generosity will help Hampstead Chamber Choir bring this ambitious programme to life and continue our tradition of presenting exciting choral music with professional musicians and ensembles.
Whether you are able to join us in the audience or simply want to support the music, your contribution will make a difference.
