About the Festival
The London Festival of Contemporary Church Music was founded in 2002 with the aim of showcasing contemporary sacred music in both service and concert. Based at St Pancras Parish Church, London, the LFCCM has grown to include more than fifty events in venues across London and beyond, dozens of composers, hundreds of performers, and thousands of audience members, both live and online, showcasing the very best in contemporary sacred music for choir and organ.
Make the LFCCM part of your Legacy
Artistic groups across the United Kingdom have seen funding cuts and financial pressures since the global coronavirus pandemic. In the face of challenges like these, the secure future of classical music in this country can no longer be taken for granted.
The LFCCM’s endowment fund ensures the Festival’s ongoing financial security and independence for generations to come.
