Our history
All Souls Music
All Souls Music was birthed from All Souls Langham Place. In the early 1970s, Noël Tredinnick - then Director of Music at All Souls - founded the All Souls Orchestra. Within a short span of time, the Orchestra grew in demand and renown and over the past 50+ years has performed internationally, recorded multiple albums and been instrumental in bringing the vision for Prom Praise and the wider music ministry to life.
In 1986, the Langham Arts Trust was born. Known fondly as All Souls Music in grateful acknowledgement of its roots and heritage, the Langham Arts Trust was created to support the burgeoning ministry of the All Souls Orchestra, Prom Praise and all of the associated music ministry of the charity.
While the Orchestra no longer comprises solely All Souls members, a portion of the remit of the charity remains to support the music for All Souls Langham Place. The growth that this strong heritage has enabled, carries within it an ever-expanding vision to point all generations to Jesus through the power of music, throughout the earth.
Our Focus
Today under the directorship of Michael Andrews, All Souls Music has three primary areas of focus:
Witness
Proclaiming the saving grace of Christ to all generations, both locally and internationally, through outreach concerts, conferences and projects.
Wider Church
Creating world-class resources for churches to use in their own communities and contexts.
Worship
Our Staff & Trustees
As a registered charity since 1997, Langham Arts Trust continues to provide a charitable financial base for the work of All Souls Music. The Trust is run by a Board of Trustees who meet periodically. There is also a small team of contracted staff who operate from an office at St Paul’s Robert Adam Street.
