‘Church music isn’t just tradition—it’s the future. Join us and be part of the conversation.’ – Hugh Morris, RSCM Director
Join us for an inspiring weekend dedicated to the vibrant role of music in the life of the church. Hosted at Sarum College, Salisbury —the home of the RSCM—this event is a must for anyone passionate about worship and music.
Friday 24 April 2026, from 17:30
A pre-conference event featuring evensong at Salisbury Cathedral, a two-course evening meal, and a singing session led by RSCM Director Hugh Morris, exploring exciting new repertoire.

Highlights include:

*Keynote Address by Hugh Morris: ‘Church Music Matters’
*Annual Lecture delivered by The Most Revd Dr John Davies (retired Archbishop of Wales)
*Interactive workshops on recruitment, faith development, congregational singing and safeguarding.
With trade stalls, a bookshop, and plenty of opportunities to meet the RSCM team, this is more than a conference—it’s a celebration of music’s power to inspire and unite.
Whether you’re a RSCM Member, choir leader, organist, clergy member, singer or simply someone who loves the sound of voices raised in praise, the spring conference offers something for you. It’s a chance to connect with like-minded musicians and practitioners, explore fresh ideas, and discover resources that will enrich your ministry.
